Gmail boost: Now you can receive 50 MB attachments to your emails

-
Thanks to cloud file-sharing services like Google Drive, Microsoft's One Drive, and Dropbox, it's easy to share files via email of pretty much any size. Still, there might be an occasion when someone else wants to send you a massive file directly to your Gmail account.
Starting this week, Google will help Gmail users in this scenario by letting them open up any files of up to 50 megabytes (50MB) in size.
"While Google Drive offers a convenient way to share files of any size, sometimes you need to receive large files as direct email attachments. So starting today, you will be able to receive emails of up to 50MB directly," Google announced in a blogpost.
