Emailing videos

[Rgarner]

I recently tried to send some photos and videos by email. The photos seem to be fine but it didn't load the videos. What could be the problem and what do I do about it?

Sending videos via email is not a great idea as there is an upper limit of something around 25mb.

This can be greatly less depending on the service you are using. Our works email cap is around 15mb.

You will be better suited to use a cloud service such as Box to upload the videos to and then generate a shared link you can send your friends or family so they can download and watch them.

Do you mean Dropbox? I've never used that. Would you please tell me how?

There is Dropbox and Box and many others. You can grab them from here:

https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=com.dropbox.android

https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=com.box.android

They both offer free services which have their limits, for this you would need to have a read of each of these two. Of course there are other cloud services.

You should find a guide on how to use them on the apps themselves.

Inevitably, however, we run into email file size limits. You can now bypass Gmail's meager 25MB attachment size limit by using Google Drive. By integrating its cloud storage service, Google Drive, with Gmail, Google now lets you attach files as large as 10GB (400 times larger than traditional attachments).Nov 28, 2017
