The introduction of Google Drive has made it very easy to send and share large attachments with your contacts. You can send already uploaded files or upload new ones. To send large files directly with Gmail, simply click on the “Insert files using Drive” button at the bottom of the compose email page.
Google Drive will give you 15GB of free storage, which is not exclusive of your Gmail inbox and Google Docs storage. In fact, as you already have a Gmail (and by extension, Google) account, you don’t even have to sign up for the service – you are already signed up for it. Google Drive is Google’s Cloud Storage service. Once you go over that limit, you will be prompted by Google (automatically) to use Google Drive to send you file. If you use Gmail, which is the most popular email service in the world, you can attach up to 25 MBs worth of files by default. Thankfully, there are some ways you can send large attachments through email, depending on your service provider. This is enough for text documents and other small files, but what happens when you have to send large files, like pictures or videos? Most email services will just let you attach a few MBs of files (25 MBs for Gmail, Hotmail and Yahoo Mail) along with your message. However, despite the large amount of storage space you can use, email services won’t let you send large email attachments, which can be frustrating sometimes. Now, most service providers will let you store several GBs worth of data – Gmail, for example, offers 15GB worth of free storage at present, so that most of us will never have to delete another message ever again. At one time, you could only store a few hundred MBs (megabytes) of stuff in your email inbox and you had to constantly delete messages to free up space. One of the most prominent, and useful, improvement has been the amount of storage space you have access to. There have been several improvements to electronic mail since it first came to the scene. Email has been around for a long, long time.
