No more worries – you no longer have to worry about not receiving email because the file size was too large. Google recently announced that it is increasing its file sharing limit for Gmail. Previously, Gmail users could only receive files or sets of files with a total size of less than 25 MB. Gmail users can now receive up to 50 MB of files – a significant increase that allows users to receive higher quality photos, large PDFs, more music files, and more.

Sending large files via email is usually not possible with a standard email attachment. One way to get around your email provider’s file size limit is to send the large file as a link that the recipient can download from the cloud – Google Drive and Gmail are the perfect duo for this.

How To Send Large Files in Gmail using Google Drive

If you want to send a file larger than 25 MB by e-mail, you can do so with Google Drive. Once you’re signed in to Gmail, click ‘Compose’ to create an email. You’ll see a paper clip icon at the bottom of the email that indicates an attachment. Next to it, you’ll see the Google Drive icon, which is shaped like a triangle. Click the Google Drive icon to select the files you want to attach from Google Drive.

You can then send the file as a Google Drive link, which works for all Google services such as Google Docs, Sheets, Slides, and Forms. Make sure that the shared settings are updated so that the recipient can view the file. If you don’t want to share a Google file, you can also attach a file that isn’t part of Google’s services. To do this, the file you want to send can be uploaded to Google Drive.

Compress your Files

If you need to send a very large file or many small files, a good trick is to simply compress the file. This means that you send the actual PDF or PSD file or whatever, but compress the data to reduce the file size.

On a Mac or PC (the instructions are pretty much the same), just right-click on your file and choose Compress. This will create a new file on your desktop with the same name and a .zip extension.

If you have multiple files to compress, create a folder with the files you want to compress, then right-click and choose Compress.

Conclusion

The fact is that the world’s most widely used e-mail service provider cannot handle e-mails with data volumes in excess of 25 megabytes. It doesn’t matter whether you use Gmail’s POP or IMAP server, the story is the same.

However, until Google releases a new update (which effectively helps the sender download files), users can still send drive links from their desktop device or Android or iOS Gmail mobile application.
