Outlook.com Email Attachment Size Limit

-

Like all email providers, Outlook.com limits a number of things related to email. There is a size limit per email attachment and a size limit per message recipient. However, these Outlook.com email limits are not unreasonable. In fact, they are much bigger than you think.

Note: The information in this article applies to Outlook.com and Outlook Online.

Outlook.com Email Limits

The size limit when sending emails with Outlook.com is not only calculated based on the size of the attachment, but also based on the size of the message, such as the body and other content. Outlook.com email size limits are set to reduce the potential for spam.

The total size limit when sending an email from Outlook.com depends on whether you're attaching a file stored on your computer or a file stored on OneDrive. If the file is stored on your computer, the attachment size limit is 34MB; for a OneDrive file, the attachment size limit is 2 GB.

In addition to message size, Outlook.com limits the number of emails you can send per day to 300 and the number of recipients per message to 100.

Note: If you recently created Outlook.com, you may have a low sending quota, which is a temporary limitation. Once you become trusted with the Outlook.com system, these restrictions will be removed and your account will be upgraded to default sending limits.

How to Send Email Larger Files

If you send large files and photos through Outlook.com that exceed the available size limit, you'll be prompted to upload the files to OneDrive first. This makes it easier for Outlook to send the file and ensures that the recipient is not limited by the size limitations of your email service. This relieves your account and their account as well if the provider does not accept large files.


Another way to send large files is to first upload the files to a cloud storage service like Dropbox, Google Drive, or OneDrive. Then, when it's time to attach files to email, choose Cloud locations instead of a Computer to send uploaded files online.

By sharing files through OneDrive, you can send larger files and collaborate with others on those files in real time. The attachment size limit for OneDrive files is 2 GB.

If you want to send something even bigger, email the files in small chunks, create a compressed ZIP file of the attachments, store the files online and share download links to them, or use another file sending service.

Mostly important Windows system files reside in system32. The most common types of files in this directory are DLL (dynamic link library) and EXE (executable) files.
