Hotmail email attachment size

Hotmail, now known as Outlook.com, has a file size limit for attachments. The maximum file size for attachments varies depending on the type of file and the plan you're using. Here are the current limits:

Free Outlook.com account:

• Individual files: 20 MB (megabytes)
• Total attachment size: 10 GB (gigabytes)

Outlook.com paid account (Outlook.com Premium):

• Individual files: 50 MB (megabytes)
• Total attachment size: 20 GB (gigabytes)

Outlook.com business account:

• Individual files: 100 MB (megabytes)
• Total attachment size: 50 GB (gigabytes)

If you try to send an attachment that exceeds the file size limit, you'll receive an error message. To avoid this, you can:

1. Compress the file using a compression tool like WinZip or 7-Zip.
2. Break the file into smaller parts and send them separately.
3. Use a cloud storage service like OneDrive, Google Drive, or Dropbox to share large files.

Keep in mind that these limits apply to individual files, not the total size of all attachments in a single email. If you need to send large files regularly, consider upgrading to a paid account or using a cloud storage service.
