Outlook – “File too large to send”
How often have you been in the middle of an urgent email, attaching a critical file, only to be met with the dreaded notification – “file too large to send”?
Frustrating, isn’t it?
Well, Microsoft has heard our collective sighs of exasperation. They’ve announced an update that promises to banish the ‘file too large’ issue.
And this is one of those rare times when something that feels too good to be true is true!
In an official post on the Microsoft 365 roadmap, the tech giant revealed its plan to integrate Outlook with Microsoft’s OneDrive cloud storage platform.
When you hit that attachment size limit, Outlook will ask you to upload your file to OneDrive so your document still reaches the intended recipient.
Clever, don’t you think?
Android devices get this new feature first, but the rollout is due this month for everyone else. We don’t have long to wait.
Soon, you’ll no longer need to compress, resize, or abandon large files. Or turn to third-party services (which can be a security risk). Microsoft is paving the way for a smoother, more efficient email experience.
