If i drag a 50mb file to an email, outlook.exe says "no" and tells me to use some upload site.
If i do the same thing at gmail.com, instead of rejecting the file, it uploads it to google-drive and automatically adds a url to the email.
Outlook should do the same with onedrive or sharepoint

Hi @adam deltinger,
For the local option you said "If you attach a local file you can then click upload and choose a site or your Onedrive and it will automatically attach it as a link!"
Where do i click "upload" in outlook.exe when i drag and drop a file?

Thanks @Christopher Hoard but thats outdated outlook 2016 and this is for outlook 365

@adam deltinger Its odd that the uservoice link doesn't have an option for outlook.exe 365, only outdate 2016 and outlook.com

@adam deltinger thank you! i had no idea that option was there for smaller files....
Its interesting that it still sends an attachment, but instead of the file its an html (vs url in the body) but still good.
Hope they enable this for too large files...i wonder if there is a registry edit

@adam deltinger How? by IT on the server?
I don't think they want to store all these large files on the email server, so the restriction makes sense

Although i would think storage space from microsoft for email or onedrive should be at the same rate
If my IT increased the max to 150mb, that might help internal sharing, but would external parties be able to receive or would it get blocked by their mail system as too large?

@adam deltingerI hate gmail with a passion, but i'd rather use gmail it for larger files then waste my time going to onedrive, upload the file there, then waste my time putting the link into an email somewhere else.
Microsoft really needs to connect these 2 simple dots...but since they don't pay any attention to customers our the uservoice site, this will never change
