Tips and limitations
- Gmail has a file size limit of 25MB per attachment. If you need to send larger files, you may need to use a file sharing service or a third-party email client.
- Gmail also has a limit on the number of attachments you can send in a single email message. The limit is 20 attachments per message.
- When attaching multiple files, it's a good idea to use a descriptive subject line and a clear message body to help the recipient understand what the files are and why they're being sent.
