How much mb zip folder can be mail

The maximum size of a ZIP folder that can be mailed via email depends on the email service provider and the recipient's email account settings. Here are some general guidelines:

  1. Gmail: Gmail allows attachments up to 25 MB in size. If your ZIP folder is larger than 25 MB, you can try compressing it further or breaking it down into smaller ZIP files.
  2. Yahoo Mail: Yahoo Mail allows attachments up to 25 MB in size.
  3. Outlook.com: Outlook.com allows attachments up to 10 MB in size.
  4. Hotmail: Hotmail allows attachments up to 10 MB in size.
  5. ProtonMail: ProtonMail allows attachments up to 1 GB in size, but this may vary depending on the recipient's settings.
  6. Other email providers: Check your email provider's documentation or contact their support team to determine their attachment size limits.

If your ZIP folder is larger than the allowed attachment size, you can try the following:

  1. Compress the files further: Use a compression tool like WinZip or 7-Zip to compress the files in your ZIP folder. This may reduce the file size and make it eligible for email attachment.
  2. Break the ZIP folder into smaller parts: Divide the ZIP folder into smaller parts, each with a size below the allowed attachment limit. You can then send each part separately via email.
  3. Use a file-sharing service: Consider using a file-sharing service like WeTransfer, Dropbox, or Google Drive to share large files. These services often have larger file size limits and may be more convenient for sharing large files.

Remember to always check with the recipient's email provider or IT department to ensure that they can receive large attachments or have any specific requirements for file sharing.
