RV_ Posted March 30, 2023 Report Share Posted March 30, 2023 EZPZ! "If you've ever had to send a large file via Gmail, you've probably run into the 25MB file size limitation. Here's how to get around that. How to get around the 25MB limit in Gmail What you'll need: All you'll need is a valid Google account and either a web browser or the mobile app (I'll show you how to do this from both). Of course, you'll also have to have uploaded the large file to Google Drive, so make sure to do that first. That's it. Let's send some massive attachments."

Chad Heiser Posted March 30, 2023 Report Share Posted March 30, 2023 So basically GMail simplified a process that already existed. I like it. I have used Google drive links to send large files often. It’s nice to see the process being simplified (even if I can’t take advantage of it since I don’t have a gmail email account.

Ray,IN Posted March 30, 2023 Report Share Posted March 30, 2023 I wonder if using Microsoft onedrive will also accomplish that? It would be the same procedure, and since my files are already there it would be convenient. Quote 2000 Winnebago Ultimate Freedom USQ40JD, ISC 8.3 Cummins 350, Spartan MM Chassis.

There is a button in one drive that allows you to send the file or get a link to the file in one drive. You can also change settings on the link to expire after a set time period.

I have all of our collected family photos stored on OneDrive so our children (and their children) can look at them. They amount to many GB of data.

Dutch_12078 Posted March 30, 2023 Report Share Posted March 30, 2023 The title of the article is misleading of course, since the large files are not actually "sent" to the recipient as an attachment. Gmail does make the process easier though, by creating the embedded link that is sent to the recipient. For files larger than 10 GB, we can still do it the "old" way by uploading the file to an online storage that accepts larger files and creating our own inks.
