Gmail users can now send files of up to 10 GB using Google Drive, the Web giant's cloud-storage service That's 400 times bigger than files that can be shared in a regular e-mail, according to Google's Gmail team.And because the files are stored in the cloud, all recipients will always have the latest version of the file.
''Gmail will also double-check that your recipients all have access to any files you're sending. This works like Gmail's forgotten attachment detector: whenever you send a file from Drive that isn't shared with everyone, you'll be prompted with the option to change the file's sharing settings without leaving your email.
Since you’re essentially sharing a link to the file in the cloud rather than the file itself, you can continue to update it, with those updates showing up for your recipient as well. As with other cloud services such as Dropbox and Box, you can collaborate on the shared document with the recipient directly in Google Drive, keeping a single copy rather than passing drafts back and forth.
Once it’s attached, Gmail will ensure that your recipient has permission to view the file in your Drive account -– or will prompt you to grant that permission –- and then sends the message.
The feature works not only for files you attach to the message, but also for links to items stored in Google Drive you might paste into a message.
