Want to send a large file to someone (or just yourself) by attaching it to a Gmail message? If it’s over 25MB in size you’re out of luck because that's the maximum Google will allow. However, you can easily get around this by using Google Drive as an intermediate step - upload the file to Google Drive, compose your email in Gmail then click the ‘Insert files using Drive’ button next to the attachments icon.
If you use Dropbox rather than Drive, you can beat the attachment restriction by installing the new Chrome extension Dropbox for Gmail.
This also adds an icon to Gmai|'s Compose window, so you can send files
of any size from your Dropbox account, even if the recipient doesn’t
use the storage service.
