Are you unable to send files more than 25MB in file attachments in your mail in Gmail?. Don't worry, now there is a trick to send files larger than 25MB files in Gmail. Before this trick I think you were depending on file hosting services like MegaUpload.com, Mediafire.com to transfer your large files on Internet. Now sharing files on internet has become easy. Now you can share very large files up to 1GB in email for free. You can share music, videos, movies, software, photo albums etc up to 1GB through email. Even in these modern days you still can't rely on those file hosting services to send your larger files on internet.



Google's email service provider i.e., Gmail and other email service providers are restricting their users by enabling a limitation to the users email accounts that an user can send a maximum of 25MB files in their emails. If you try to send a file larger than 25MB it will give you an error saying "The file exceeds 25MB attachment limit. Sorry".

So, email users used to send larger files more than 25MB through torrents or by uploading on file hosting services servers and by sharing that URL with the recipient (to whom the file needs to be sent). Then the recipient needs to download those large files from the file hosting servers. The main drawback of using this service is that the sender needs to register with that file hosting service website. Otherwise the email sender used to cut these files into smaller partitions lesser than 25MB and send these files in multiple emails to the recipient. However it will cause problem to both sender and recipient because the sender needs to cut the file into multiple parts and the recipient needs to rejoin these multiple parts into a single file and use. It looks bit horrible but it can't be done by all. In these modern days you can't rely on that old process to send and share your larger files. Here are some steps used to skip verification process during the sign up of Google account. Now you can use this advanced method to send your large files and documents online in email and instant messaging.
