Problem sharing > Gmail from the camera app

[douglerner]

I was shooting a movie with my Android and wanted to email it to myself.

The first time I tried this I was able to successfully Share > Gmail. But the 2nd time I got an error from the Gmail share saying "you do not have enough space to download this attachment."

This was confusing for several reasons:

1. I wasn't downloading an attachment, I was sending one.

2. I have about 2 GB of free space on the internal Android and about 4 GB of free space on the SD card. There definitely wasn't a space issue.

I was able to save the movie to DropBox though, and also share to YouTube.

Have others run into this problem?

Gmail can only support attachments of 25MB or less on their servers.

This could have been slightly larger than that. Well I guess that explains it. The message could certainly be clearer though - I wasn't trying to download an attachment, I was trying to upload one!

Thanks,
