actually, the time that i'm speaking of, i sent it when i was in a rush to get to the office...so i sent it to myself. so, i downloaded it and then had the file in my inbox AND my sent box. over 600mb. and it was there before i got to work in order to download it (5-10min)

According to gmail, it says: http://tinyurl.com/5y58r

That depends on the attachment. With Gmail, you can send and receive messages up to 10 megabytes (MB) in size.

When you add an attachment, the size of a file may increase because transport encodings (the information that allows your message to be safely sent and read) are automatically added.

This means that in some cases, attachments that are 6 to 10MB in size may push the total message size above 10MB. When this happens, Gmail displays a warning that your message exceeds the 10MB limit.

I can send 20MB attachements on my account. Yousendit is a great site for sending big files (1GB max)

GMail Drive is a Shell Namespace Extension that creates a virtual filesystem around your Google GMail account, allowing you to use GMail as a storage medium.

GMail Drive creates a virtual filesystem on top of your Google GMail account and enables you to save and retrieve files stored on your GMail account directly from inside Windows Explorer. GMail Drive literally adds a new drive to your computer under the My Computer folder, where you can create new folders, copy and drag'n'drop files to.
