Stop Sending Huge Files: Email Attachment Etiquette

The 25MB Limit

Most email providers (Gmail, Outlook) still enforce a strict 25MB limit on attachments. But just because you *can* send 24MB doesn't mean you *should*.

Why Large Attachments Are Rude

• Storage Quotas: You are eating up the recipient's limited cloud storage.
• Mobile Data: If they open your email on a phone, you just cost them data.
• Slow Loading: It makes their email client sluggish.

The Solution

If you have a PDF report that is 50MB, don't send it raw.

1. Compress It: Use a PDF Compressor to shrink it down to 5MB.
2. Zip It: If sending multiple files, zip them up.
3. Cloud Link: For massive files, upload to Drive/Dropbox and send a link.
