Are you tired of encountering file size limits when sending attachments through email? Well, you’re in luck! In this blog post, we will guide you step-by-step on how to send large files with Gmail. So let’s get started!

What is the file size limit for Gmail attachments?

Gmail has a file size limit for attachments, and it currently stands at 25 MB. If you try to send a file larger than this limit, you will receive an error message indicating that the attachment exceeds the maximum size allowed. However, don’t worry. We have a solution for you!

How can I send large files with Gmail?

Gmail has a built-in feature called Google Drive that allows you to send files up to 15 GB in size. To send large files through Gmail, you follow these simple steps:

  • Step 1: Login to your Gmail account.
  • Step 2: Compose a new email by clicking on the “Compose” button.
  • Step 3: In the email composition window, click on the Google Drive icon (shown as a paperclip with a Google Drive logo).
  • Step 4: A new window will open, allowing you to either select existing files from your Google Drive or upload new files. Choose the file you want to send.
  • Step 5: After selecting the file, click the “Insert” button. The file will now be added as a link in your email, rather than an attachment.
  • Step 6: Finish composing your email, add recipients, and click “Send”.

That’s it! You have successfully sent a large file through Gmail using Google Drive. Now your recipients can easily access and download the file directly from the link provided in the email.

What if my recipients don’t have access to the file?

If your recipients don’t have permission to access the file you sent, they will see a “Request Access” button instead of the download option. To ensure your recipients can access the file, make sure you have granted appropriate permissions in Google Drive before sending the email.

Additional Tips

Here are a few additional tips to make the file sharing process smoother:

  • Tip 1: Compress your files: Consider compressing large files into ZIP or RAR archives before uploading them to Google Drive. This can reduce the file size and make the upload and download process faster.
  • Tip 2: Use Google Drive’s sharing options: If you need to collaborate on a file with someone, use Google Drive’s sharing options instead of sending it directly through Gmail. This allows multiple users to work on the same file simultaneously.
  • Tip 3: Upgrade to Google One: If you frequently send large files and need more storage, consider upgrading to Google One. Google One offers additional storage space and other benefits.

With these simple steps and tips, you can easily send large files using Gmail without any hassle. Say goodbye to file size limits and enjoy seamless file sharing!
