How To Email Large Attachments
Many email servers won’t even accept emails with attachments over 10 MB in size. To send large files via email, you need to upload your email attachments to a file storage and sharing service. The email recipient will receive a link they can click to download the email attachment, allowing you to send gigabytes of attachments without clogging up inboxes and running into size limits. Today, I'll show you how to email large attachments.
Email Large Attachments Using Google Drive.
➡ Download Google Drive here
➡ Create a new message on Gmail. On the new compose window (pop up) click on the Drive icon to insert a file as attachment.
➡ The file selection window will open up. Here, you can choose a file that is already a part of your Google Drive’s space or you can choose to upload one to the same.
➡ When you are done and back on the compose window, you will see an inline attachment like the one shown in the image below.
➡ Click on Send button and the attachment will be delivered like any other. The only difference here is that you haven’t sent an independent copy of the file. The file is still in your cloud but has been made available to the recipients of the mail.
Another advantage of such a message is that the recipient will always have the latest copy of the file. So if you update the file you do not have to send it all over again.
NOTE: whenever you send a file from Drive that isn’t shared with everyone, you’ll be prompted with the option to change the file’s sharing settings without leaving your email. It’ll even work with Drive links pasted directly into emails.
Exercise some basic caution when using these services – encrypt any sensitive files (such as financial documents) before uploading them.
