50mb is a somewhat standard limit anymore
Do you have a reference for that? Gmail is 25...
Gmail can receive 50mb files even though it can only send 25mb files
365 supports up to 150mb files
A lot of organizations (such as colleges like this one) set their limits to 50mb
On an anecdotal note, I always set at least 50mb limit for the organizations I manage in 365.
Ah! How interesting... work$ has been a Google shop for a while thus the 25m limit. Good work for o365 to enable the increase.
Email is such a fickle system. I couldn't imagine mobiles downloading 150m attachments when they only have a few GB of space...
Maybe im just too old...
Yeah, the big use I've seen for the max size limit was sending cad drawings to/from vendors and clients. No mobile usage involved, just big files that needed transmitted to allow jobs to progress.
With 128 already the most common storage size and 256 becoming that in the next few years, I don't think a few GBs of free space is right
I agree. It's just I forget that people use IMAP and choose to not download their data to their devices and leave it on servers that they don't control. 🤷
Also at 150mb, and maybe a 10gb storage allowance it doesn't leave much room for the actual text content 😂
i usually set the limit to 10MB and tell the users to fuck off when they want to send something bigger. there are more convenient methods to transfer larger files.
