If Gmail is your primary email service, here is a big news for you. Google has doubled the size limit for attachments on the emails received, from 25MB to 50MB. Basically, although we already have Google Drive to share the big files, but with this update, users will now be able to at least receive attachments as big as 50MB. Although this is clear enough, but do not, the sending size limits remain limited at 25MB, which means you can still send files which are 25MB or less in size, however, you will be able to receive bigger attachments.
“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,” Google said in blog.
Further, The update has already begun to rollout, however, according to Google, it will take about 3 days for the feature to become visible to everyone. Also, Google reminds its users that, despite the Gmail update, there still is the Google Drive, which people can freely use to both send and receive files as large as 5TB. “… just as before, you can use Google Drive to send larger attachments.”
Besides, just a few weeks ago, Google also pushed out a new update that prohibits users from attaching JavaScript files into their mails. Since the update, Gmail now blocks all the .js files from being uploaded and sent over mail. Although, to send or share .js files, users can still upload them on Google Drive, Google Cloud Storage or other storage solutions and then turn on sharing on that file.
Additionally, late last year, Google also updated the iOS app version of its email service with one of the best features of Gmail, which allows users undo sent messages. Gmail for iOS, version 5.0.3, now has the Undo Send feature just like the web version of Gmail, which allows users to prevent sending or immediately recalling emails if sent wrongfully.
