How to Send Large Videos on Gmail Quick 2025
Gmail has a *25MB attachment limit**, which means you cannot directly send large video files through email. However, you can easily send larger videos using **Google Drive* by uploading the file and sharing a link.
To begin, install the *Google Drive* app from the Play Store or App Store if you don’t already have it. Open the app and log into your Google account. Tap the *"+" (New)* button at the bottom and select *"Upload."* Choose the video file from your device, and it will begin uploading to Google Drive.
Once the upload is complete, locate the video file in Google Drive. Tap on the *three dots* next to the file and select *"Manage access."* By default, the file will be restricted, meaning only you can view it. Change this setting to *"Anyone with the link can view"* so the recipient can access the video.
After updating the sharing settings, tap on the *three dots* again and select *"Copy link."* Now, open the Gmail app, compose a new email, and paste the copied Google Drive link into the email body. When the recipient receives the email, they can click on the link, view the video, and download it from Google Drive.
This method ensures that you can send large video files without worrying about Gmail’s attachment limits.
