In what almost seems a retort to Elena’s post yesterday about e-mail etiquette, Google has today upgraded Gmail to support attachments of up to 20 MB. Previously hovering around 10 MB, the upgrade will be really useful for people who want to share small files privately and quickly. As Elena pointed out, it can be something of a nuisance when someone sends you a message with a huge file attached – and it’s worth remembering that many e-mail providers will reject a message that large.
The upgrade affects all Gmail accounts, including Google Apps. We also figure that the Gmail Drive shell extension will now support sending files of up to 20 MB to your account, rendering that Google hack 100% more handy!
