Gmail now supports attachments up to 50MB with incoming emails

Google has increased the maximum size limit for attachments with incoming emails in Gmail. Until now, Gmail until now only supported attachments totalling 25MB in a single email. Any attachments more than that size were saved in Google Drive and then shared with recipients.

But now, Google has doubled up the attachment size capacity from 25MB to 50MB for all incoming emails. This means that Gmail users can now receive attachments up to 50MB in size from non-Gmail. However, the maximum size limit for attachments with outgoing attachments is still 25MB.

“Sending and receiving attachments is an important part of email exchanges. While Google Drive offers a convenient way to share files of any size, sometimes you need to receive large files as direct email attachments. So starting today, you will be able to receive emails of up to 50MB directly,” reads the company blog post.
