It is gonna stop at 2075mb probably, and google will manually add storage on, as if you put your system clock a year forward it says 2075 megabytes (and counting).

God this 2050mb -> 2075mb is awkward when you know what its gonna be :(

Who really needs to email 700mb files? If your gonna be transferring something that large, you'd be best hosting it. Same with something 100mb in size.

This mainly seems like people asking for gmail to be an online drive, which, although possible to do with the extension, gmail isnt gstorage. yet . . .

I used the google suggest thing.. everyone suggest a higher attachment limit on https://services.google.com/inquiry/gmail_suggest/ :) if we get enough people saying it, it will happen. im not asking for something too dramatic like 1gb, maybe 100mb? I think that's fair! don't you? :) :cool:

100MB attachment is too much to ask from Gmail, an email provider not a host site.

20MB is more realistic and has a much higher chance of getting approved.

Just wondering what this bit is about 10MB limits on attachments. I had no idea there was a limit, and I posted to myself a 15MB powerpoint presentation, and it handled it fine! :rofl:

The problem with having a very large attachment size is the uploading time. Imagine uploading a 100MB file, that would be ridiculous and there are implications such as timeouts and what not.

I had that problem using webmail on dialup... it'd be nearly there then the connection would timeout :(

    • Here's how to watch Summer Game Fest 2026 and what to expect from the 2-hour showcase

      Here's how to watch Summer Game Fest 2026 and what to expect from the 2-hour showcase by Pulasthi Ariyasinghe The June game showcase schedule is packed, and with the Sony event already behind us, it's time for the next major presentation to come in swinging. Later today, Geoff Keighley will be bringing the 2026 edition of Summer Game Fest live from the Dolby Theatre in Los Angeles, California. For anyone wanting to tune in online, the Summer Game Fest showcase livestream will be kicking off at 2 PM PT | 5 PM ET | 10 PM BST later today, June 5. The jam-packed show is slated to run for about two hours, with platforms like YouTube (4K at 60FPS), Twitch, Facebook, or X being available for catching it. Like in previous years, separate streams featuring American Sign Language and Descriptive Audio are available on YouTube as well. Keighley has only dropped a few teasers about what gaming fans can expect to see at the show. This includes a new look at Star Wars Zero Company from EA, a major announcement from Guild Wars developer ArenaNet, more Clutch gameplay, and some sort of Sega presence. As for fan expectations, there is hype building about a Final Fantasy 7 Remake Part 3 reveal here, and we might see new details about announced games like Alien Isolation 2 as well. If you want even more games, keep in mind that right after the main kickoff event, the Day of the Devs showcase will begin its own festivities at 4 pm PT | 7 pm ET. This is focused entirely on upcoming indie games. Following this, the next major games showcase is slated to happen on June 7. Here, Microsoft is bringing the big guns with its Xbox Games Showcase and Gears of War E-Day Direct. Check out the full calendar for all of the June events over here.

    • Microsoft is making Windows 11's context menus faster, simpler, and configurable

      I think the car analogy is more this: Left hand drive, basic commands on the left side of the infotainment screen. Right hand drive, basic commands on the right side of the infotainment screen. Granted, you're not swapping between the two often so it's doesn't really work. But it's to do with the proximity of you (your mouse, or the driver) to the controls.

      I mean, the old one was broken and so stupidly complex for many users, so I don't see that as a feasible option. A context menu needs to be simple to use, and for me the Windows 11 style actually worked really well for me, and many others. I used to have to scroll the damn context menu just to get to "file properties" in Windows 10. That was not a good experience, and I'm sure you'd agree. What they're trying to do is make it the best of both worlds, as clearly you'd prefer the Win10 style. I'm curious how they're going to do this.
