Gmail Has A New Maximum Attachment Size: 25 MB
The popular Gmail service provides users a new value for the maximum size of an email attachment: 25 megabytes (MB). Until now, the maximum size allowed for the attached files was 20 megabytes (MB). This upgrade of Gmail service will make easier for you to send or to backup larger files from your Gmail account. The new limit imposed for the maximum size of email attachment is rolled out for all existing and future Gmail accounts.
As a consequence, any Gmail user is able to send or receive messages up to 25 megabytes (MB) in size. But, if you send an email with large attachments to users of other email services, which do not provide support for the current message file size, the recipient where the message was sent, will not receive the email content (the attachment will bounce).
For those of you who want to use the Gmail Inbox as storage space for files, there are various tools which simplify the connection to your Gmail account and files upload process: GMail Drive and Gspage (an add-on designed for Firefox web browser).
GMail Drive makes possible the addition to any GMail account a virtual file system enabling users to store files in the GMail free space (up to 7 GB). GMail Drive ads a virtual hard drive to your computer and can be used as an usual one: you are allowed to create directories, drag and drop into them files or folders and more. Practically, this Windows namespace shell extension will send emails to your Gmail inbox with file attachments every time a new file is added to the GMail Drive.
