Sometimes we need to send someone a very important email, but that file does not support the allowed limit. It is very usual that these emails are limited to 25 MB for the allowed attachments. In this way, it is very important that you know ways to send these files that are larger so as not to interfere with your day to day tasks.

Currently, there are some alternative solutions for you to be able to accomplish this task without compromising your work or communication with each other. See below how to do this from your email and even from a different platform.
For files that are larger than 25MB, one solution is to turn it into a ZIP file by compressing it. With this, it will be possible for this file to have its size reduced and can be sent to whoever you want within just one email.
For Google users who use Gmail, one possibility is to use the Google Drive platform to attach a large file and share it via a link so that someone else can access it.
Step by step:
When attaching a file in the body of the email, Gmail itself identifies the file with a size greater than the capacity and suggests that the user generate a link through the Drive. After that, define the document access settings that will appear on the screen and you are ready to send.
Not to be left out of this technology, Microsoft has made the same feature available to its users. The OneDrive platform is allowed for those who have access to Outlook, playing the same role as Google Drive.
Step by step:
When attaching the file, Outlook will also identify that the capacity does not exceed 20MB and will then suggest generating a link to OneDrive. This way, you will upload the attachment to your account and the recipient will receive the link to access the file by email.
Finally, this is an independent option that provides the attachment of files of up to 5GB each. Also, it is not necessary to create an account to use it.
Step by step:
Upload as many files as you like, and then you'll receive an access link for each upload. Finally, just share these links via email to whoever you want to have access and you're all set.
