TheIndonesia.id - Large files are difficult to be sent by email because most email services have a maximum size limitation of 25 megabytes. So, if you want to send a video via email, you might get an error message. 

So, what should we do if the size of the file is more than 25 MB? If the video is over 25 MB, you are recommended to upload the video to a cloud service such as Google Drive. 

Then, you can attach the Google Drive link to the email. By this step, the email receiver can access the video file in Google Drive.

This guide will show you how to send videos via Google Drive in Gmail, which can be done via Android, iOS, and PCs.
