Email attachment too large? How to send big files

Gmail and Outlook stop at around 20–25 MB. Here’s how to send photos, videos and documents of any size with one link.

In short
  • Email attachments are capped at roughly 20–25 MB.
  • Upload the files to a Room instead.
  • Paste the link in the email; they download from there.
STEP 1

Know why the email bounced

Gmail and Outlook limit attachments to around 20–25 MB per message. A single phone video is often bigger than that.

STEP 2

Upload the files to a Room

Tap Add files and pick everything you wanted to attach: photos, videos, documents, up to 50 GB per file, nothing compressed.

STEP 3

Put the link in the email

Write the email as usual and paste the link instead of attaching. The person opens it, no account, and downloads what they need.
