The popular email service, Gmail, has implemented a few changes that are breaking new grounds compared to other email services. Now you can send bigger attachments in Gmail, as Google increased the maximum attachment size from 20 MB to 25 MB.

Gmail now attachs 25MB

The evolution of Gmail as regards file attachments always took the lead. At the very beginning the limit was 10mb, but then users suggested that it should be increase to 20mb. A few days ago Google decided to increase 5mb more over the current max attachment size.

Still, there is an issue. Google states the followings “Please note that you may not be able to send larger attachments to contacts that use other email services with smaller attachment limits. If your attachment bounces, you should invite them to Gmail“.

In this way, despite the possibility of attaching 25mb per file –and even though it´s quite an interesting feature when it comes to email services- the limitations of sending files to other Gmail accounts only becomes a crutch. It´s a matter of time until other email services implement the 25mb attachment size so everyone can send files up to 25mb in size. Until then, we can keep using Gmail with people who also have Gmail accounts, but we can also tell our friends to sign up to Gmail so we don´t have to send smaller files, if they don´t have one, now it´s the time to get it.
