And breathe… the “file too large to send” problem is over

Ever been in the thick of sending an urgent email, trying to attach a vital document, when you’re greeted by that all-too-familiar message: “file too large to send”? Annoying, right?

Well, good news! Microsoft has been listening to our collective grumbles. They’ve rolled out an update aimed at making that frustrating “file too large” warning a thing of the past.

Believe it or not, this isn’t one of those “too good to be true” moments. It’s the real deal!

According to an official update on the Microsoft 365 roadmap, the company plans to seamlessly integrate Outlook with OneDrive, their cloud storage service. So, when you bump up against those pesky attachment size limits, Outlook will kindly suggest uploading your file to OneDrive. This ensures your important document still lands in the right inbox.

Smart, isn’t it?

Android users are the first in line to enjoy this new feature, but the rest of us won’t be far behind—the full rollout is slated for this month. No more scrambling to compress, resize, or even ditch your bulky files. And you can forget about relying on third-party services that might compromise security. Microsoft is setting the stage for a more streamlined, secure email experience.

If you fancy a bit of help in maximising your Microsoft 365 subscription, feel free to give us a shout.
