How big of files can g mail send
Google Mail (Gmail) has a file size limit for attachments, which varies depending on the type of file and the recipient's email account. Here are the general guidelines:
Standard Gmail accounts:
- Attachments up to 25 MB (megabytes) in size are allowed.
- If you try to send a file larger than 25 MB, Gmail will prompt you to reduce the file size or use Google Drive to share the file.
Gmail accounts with Google Drive integration:
- If you have a Google Drive account linked to your Gmail account, you can send files up to 750 MB (megabytes) in size using the "Insert from Drive" feature.
- This feature allows you to upload files from your Google Drive account to Gmail and send them as attachments.
Gmail accounts with Google Workspace (formerly G Suite):
- If you have a Google Workspace account, you can send files up to 10 GB (gigabytes) in size.
- This is because Google Workspace accounts have a higher storage limit and more advanced features for file sharing and collaboration.
Other limitations:
- Gmail also has a limit on the number of attachments you can send in a single email. The limit is 20 attachments per email.
- If you try to send a file that is too large, Gmail will display an error message and suggest alternative ways to share the file, such as using Google Drive or a file-sharing service.
Keep in mind that these limits may change over time, so it's always a good idea to check the Gmail help center for the most up-to-date information on file size limits and attachment restrictions.
