File Too Large to Email? Send It With a Link Instead
Every email provider has attachment size limits — Gmail caps at 25MB, Outlook at 20MB, Yahoo at 25MB. If your file is larger than that, you can't attach it. The simplest workaround: upload the file to a sharing service and email the download link instead.

Frequently Asked Questions
What's the email attachment size limit?
Gmail: 25MB. Outlook: 20MB. Yahoo Mail: 25MB. Apple Mail: 20MB. Most corporate email servers have even lower limits (10-15MB).
Why not just use Google Drive?
You can, but it requires a Google account and the recipient may need one too depending on sharing settings. storage.to requires no accounts on either side — just upload and share the link.
Is this secure?
Files are served over HTTPS via Cloudflare. You can add a password to any upload for free. Files auto-expire after 1-7 days, so they don't linger online.
Will the link work in any email client?
Yes. The link is a standard URL that works in Gmail, Outlook, Apple Mail, Yahoo, Thunderbird — any email client. Recipients click it to download the file.
How long does the link last?
Files are available for 1-7 days (3 days by default). If the recipient needs more time, set a longer expiry when uploading.
