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...
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 😂
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.
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.
