Gmail to support up to 50 MB attachments

It says Gmail but is on the G Suite blog and mentions specifically G Suite Editions. So was wondering earlier today if it applies to G Suite Gmail Only or all gmail customers including @gmail.com?<p>My main question is however how will the receiving more help if the sending limit is still low? Are there any top email providers such as Microsoft, Yahoo, etc, that support sending more than 25MB emails?<p>I think when sending emails to other gmail&#x2F;g suite users the send limit should be 50mb, but when sending to anyone else should be 25mb, since 99% of others would only be 25mb receiving limit and would be a lot of email bounces otherwise.

Disappointed that this only covers receiving. There have been many times where I had to send a file of 27MB, etc.

Note that this is for receiving emails only; for sending large files, you&#x27;ll still need to use Google Drive.

For years, I&#x27;ve used a web hosting company instead of attachments. A simple alias uploads a file to the web host, and I can just paste in a URL.<p>Dreamhost gives so much space that I just leave stuff up there and almost never remove it, so the link stays good; and since it&#x27;s my own domain name, it will remain good even if I change hosts.<p>I guess Drop Box and Google Drive are the modern equivalents, but my URLs are nice and simple and I have complete control. Really, I&#x27;m surprised more people don&#x27;t do it this way.

Yet I still won&#x27;t be able to email encrypted archives around.

I built a gmail plugin several years ago that let you send arbitrarily large attachments w&#x2F; web download so you didn&#x27;t have to use google drive, but had a terrible time marketing and promoting it. Now it seems like there are a lot of third party options in the space, is this really an issue given the services available?

Will GMail support binary files and password protected archives again?<p>It&#x27;s pretty off-putting - instead of just sending or adding a warning message, GMail blocks such files.

I wonder if you can send a 50MB attachment if using smtp-relay.gmail.com

Awesome. Right now the industry standard is to limit incoming mail to 25mb attachments. Once it becomes common place to accept larger sizes we can squash out these technological relics.

Why not wetransfer.com? Sending attachments up to 2 GB through their free service is pretty painless, and sure beats Google Drive.

Are we stupid?<p>Who even uses Drive? Let alone share anything using it.

I dont trust them to keep this feature, but more as a means to force people to use Google Drive.
