The old way
Gmail: 25 MB limit. Outlook: 20 MB limit. Your file: definitely bigger than that. You could compress it, split it into parts, or upload it to a drive and fumble with share links. Or you could just send it.
- ✕Try to attach file — rejected
- ✕Compress into a ZIP — still too big
- ✕Split into multiple parts — confusing
- ✕Upload to Google Drive — set permissions — send link
- ✕Recipient can't open it — needs access

Frequently asked questions
What's the Gmail attachment size limit?+
Gmail limits email attachments to 25 MB. Anything larger gets automatically uploaded to Google Drive, which requires the recipient to have a Google account and navigate sharing permissions.
What's the Outlook attachment size limit?+
Outlook limits attachments to 20 MB for most accounts. Microsoft 365 Business accounts may allow up to 150 MB, but the recipient still needs to deal with download links and potential compatibility issues.
Can I send files larger than 25 MB without email?+
Yes. Skypost lets you send files up to 500 MB free and up to 5 GB on Pro. No email involved — just share the 3-word password via any channel you prefer.
Does the receiver need an account?+
No. The receiver just enters the 3-word password on skypost.co.uk and downloads. No account, no app, no setup.
