Gmail 20MB Maximum Attachment Size Limit

GmailGmail has doubled up the maximum attachment size from 10MB to 20MB, allowing users to send larger files of up to 20 MB (probably a bit less than that due to encoding) especially those space hungry pictures, photos, images, MP3s, musics, songs, videos and other multimedia contents. 20 MB attachment in each email is also a faster way to fill up 2.8GB Gmail provided, which seems like always unable to fill up.

The only problem in 20MB attachment size limit is that not all email providers support such a large attachment size. Other popular email services such as Yahoo! Mail and Windows Live Hotmail are only allowing 10MB for attachment size. So your email with larger than 10MB attachments will probably bounced back due to over limit error. However, you can safely emailing big attachments between Gmail users, where number of it keeps growing everyday anyway.

Update: Maximum attachment size limit for Gmail is now 25MB.

    Don’t forget BoltFile (http://www.boltfile.com). I’ve been using it for ages, and I find it the easiest way – especially for non-advanced users – to share files/folders up to 2GB in size per mail.
