Max email size including the attachment:

Firstly, Windows & Webmail based:    20 MB /email

Secondly, Linux & Webmail based:       50 MB /email

How to Send Large Files Over Email

Email attachments larger than a specific size are frequently rejected by email servers. There are other simple ways to send someone enormous files over email, even though attachment sizes haven’t kept up with the changes.

Message size is constrained, even if you’re using a contemporary, online email software. For instance, Google permits attachments and the message body to be up to 25MB in size. Outlook only permits 10MB. They will automatically lend a hand and make suggestions when you send communications using these platforms. Alternatives for Outlook and Gmail attachments include Google Drive and OneDrive, respectively.

What’s the Maximum Size of an Email Attachment?

In principle, there’s no restriction to how much information you can connect to an email. Email principles indicate no kind of size limit. Practically speaking, most email servers — and some email clients — authorize their own size limits.

As a rule, while joining records to an email, you can be sensibly certain that up to 10MB of connections are OK. Some email servers might have more modest cutoff points, yet 10MB is for the most part the norm.

Gmail permits you to connect up to 25MB to a solitary email, however this is just for messaging to other Gmail clients. When the email leaves Gmail’s servers, another email server might dismiss the email. Numerous servers are designed to not acknowledge more than 10MB of connections.

It’s more than taking a gander at the most extreme connection size of the help you use and the help you’re messaging. This is on the grounds that messages frequently travel more than a few mail move specialists when they’re sent, so you might have your connection dismissed by a server en route in the event that you join an excess of information.

You ought to likewise remember that email connections are by and large MIME encoded, which expands their size by around 33%. So 10MB of documents on your circle will become around 13MB of information when joined to an email.

Use a Cloud Storage Service

The least difficult choice is to store documents on a distributed storage administration like Dropbox, Google Drive, or OneDrive. You can then impart the document to somebody and illuminate them through email that you have done as such. They can then click a connection and download the record straightforwardly to their PC.

Assuming you use Gmail or Outlook.com, you’ll find that Google and Microsoft have incorporated Google Drive and OneDrive into their individual email administrations. Simply click the Google Drive or SkyDrive button while sending an email and you’ll have the option to share a document by means of email. Gmail and Outlook will walk you through picking a document that as of now exists in your distributed storage drive or transferring another record.

On the off chance that you use something like Dropbox, you can share the document from the distributed storage administration’s site. For instance, right-click a record on Dropbox’s site and select Share connect in the event that you use Dropbox. In the event that you have the Dropbox application on your PC, you can likewise right-click any record in your Dropbox organizer and you’ll see a “Offer” order there, too.

This is the choice many email suppliers are pushing us towards — in the event that you attempt to join a huge record in Gmail or Outlook.com, you’ll be provoked to transfer it to Google Drive or SkyDrive first.
