Gmail cap increase a false economy
Google recently announced an increase in the maximum file attachment size from 10 megabytes to 20, saying:
“Now you can start sharing more of those home videos, large presentations and files you just can’t seem to get smaller. We have doubled the allowable attachment size to 20 MB to make your Gmail space even more useful.”
With most email providers filtering out messages that are 10 megs and over with caps on incoming file sizes the relative benefit of this increase is likely to be minor unless both parties are Gmail users.
…or perhaps that’s the aim.
