How to attach real files to Gmail messages, not just links A new Google Drive tweak lets you attach actual files to outbound email.

Dear Lifehacker, I want to be able to right-click a file in Windows explorer, hit Send to Gmail, and automatically attach the file to a new email.

Gmail's size limit for attachments is set at 25MB per email. If your attachments exceed this limit, you can include a Google Drive link.

You can now share a file directly from your Drive account using the Gmail app on an Android device.
