Google has introduced a feature in its Gmail service that lets users attach files stored in their Drive space. The effectively means that the maximum attachment size on Gmail has increased to 10GB, or about 400 times the previous limit.

When using this feature to attach files from Drive, the Gmail’s system will automatically verify that the recipients of the message have access to the file on Drive. This mechanism also kick in when explicitly mentioning the Drive link in the message body. Keeping in tradition, Google will rollout this new feature over the next few days. Furthermore, this new feature is only available to those users that have switched to Gmail’s new message editor or composer.
