Google offers 10GB attachment in Gmail !!

BY-Harkirat Singh (Twitter)(Google+)

               Yes i know even i felt the same,25 MB space was very less for an attachment so finally google heard the voice of their customers and now they allow 10 GB attachments with Google drive.Google Drive launched in April, millions of people have started using Drive to keep, create and share files. Starting today, it’s even easier to share with others: you can insert files from Drive directly into an email without leaving your Gmail. Google Drive is the company's cloud storage service, similar to Microsoft SkyDrive and DropBox.

Now with Drive, you can insert files up to 10GB -- 400 times larger than what you can send as a traditional attachment. Also, because you’re sending a file stored in the cloud, all your recipients will have access to the same, most-up-to-date version.The announcement was made in the official blog of gmail by Phil Sharp, Gmail product manager 

As of now, Google has only integrated Google Drive-based attachment feature in the new compose box. Therefore, users who had opted out of the new look of compose box need to opt for it once again in order to mail Google Drive-based files.
