Has outlook reduced size of e mail attachments

Yes, Outlook has reduced the size of email attachments in recent versions. This is a security feature designed to prevent large attachments from being sent and received, which can help prevent malware and viruses from spreading.

In Outlook 2013 and later versions, the default attachment size limit is 20 MB. This means that if you try to send an email with an attachment larger than 20 MB, Outlook will prompt you to reduce the file size or use a cloud storage service like OneDrive or SharePoint to share the file.

In Outlook 2016 and later versions, you can also use the "Attach file" feature, which allows you to upload your file to OneDrive and share the link with the recipient, rather than sending the file itself. This can be a convenient way to share large files without exceeding the attachment size limit.

It's worth noting that the attachment size limit can be adjusted by the administrator of your organization, so the limit may be different in your specific environment.

Here are the attachment size limits for different versions of Outlook:

If you need to send a large file, you can consider using a cloud storage service like OneDrive, Google Drive, or Dropbox, which allow you to share files of any size.
