How to send large files in email - Sprint Samsung Galaxy S 4 Q&A, Help & Troubleshoot

Is there a mod to enable this?

You are limited on the size of file you can e-mail. I believe with Gmail it is 25 megs or so.
For Larger files I tend to upload them to my Google Drive account and send an e-mail to the person with a link to the file so they can click and download it.

GMail attachment size

Today I tried to send movie made by N1camera through GMail. The file size was about 16 MB, but I get info, that is over accepted attachment size. I remember, that 20 MB is web GMAIL limit. Why N1 has another limit? Is any way to cross this limitation?
The only thing i could think is its a network limit, have you tried sending it over wifi?
Encoding overhead taking it to over 20MB?

Yes it was over wifi...
Typically, email attachment limits are set at 10mb, so anything over that can't be sent. I know Gmail offers a 20mb limit and when I had Yahoo, a premium account allowed 20mb attachments, but that has nothing to do with the recipient. I would imagine it would only work for sending large files from Gmail accounts to other Gmail accounts, but Android might be set to 10mb by default for the rest of the email domains out there.

Is any hack to increase this limit? It is annoing, when I can not send 16MB size file. It's not so big.

Not that I'm aware of. I'm sure it's possible, but if someone fixed it on the device, that's not to say it would bypass limitations on the various email domains.

Can't save email attachments

When I click on an email attachment, it doesn't pop up a window allowing me to save the attached file; only a button to open. Am I doing something wrong? Please help!!
Thanks,

Are you using the Gmail app or the browser to saving the attachments?
The app wont let you save attachments while the browser will.

I'm using the email app; it's not a gmail account, it's a pop3 email. I sent a couple different files, and when I send a picture it has a download option, but not for mp3s.
I was able to download a mp3 file using the stock android browser.

Does anyone know of an app I can get to be able to copy and paste data from my Exchange emails?

I think you can't I have been looking for this for a while already...
The Tab has a very disappointing implementation of Exchange (You can't see the birthday of your exchange contacts. You can't either modify your exchange appointments in the calendar, etc...)
It's a toy, not a professional device
i have never used exchange on the tab but what might help is pressing replay and then copy from the replay quote... hope it helps

Mail attachments

First time so far that I received a mail attachment. I clicked on it and get an alert that there is no program to run the file. Where's an option to save an attachment? Using the latest Gapps for my ROM.
The answer is that it's EXT sensitive. It can 't be a APK or BIN for two just have to XXX it out.

I had a problem with an app and the Dev sent me four different versions to try out as some ROMs were having a problem. I had to boot up my PC, check my mail and download/transfer to my N10. I later remembered that my mail is handled by Yahoo!, it's Uverse so I could have logged into Yahoo! mail and got the files to that way while still using the N10.
I don't use Gmail.

Inline images in an email

I am going on a 7 day bicycle ride next week, from San Francisco to Los Angeles, and I want to send some emails while I'm on the road. One of my teammates made awesome banner images for each day, so I want to put those at the top of each email message.
I can create drafts in Gmail on the web, add the images, put some text and leave them ready to send. What I want to do as the days go by is edit each draft, add any updates or special mentions based on the events and send.
Unfortunately, when I access the draft in the Android Gmail app, the format is completely lost. The app turns the inline image into an attachment and it doesn't even get sent when testing.
Does anyone know of an Android email client (IMAP preferably) that does inline images? Even if it's with a URL or that allows HTML tags?

Hmm well you could try using the full computer page of gmail. Via the stock browser app.
Install flash player if you already dont have it - http://db.tt/LiJFLmj1
(Backup flashplayer.apk from my dropbox)
Then just open native browser app and check request full site under the pull down settings.

Hmm that's good to know! I found that Maildroid allows inserting the images inline. I can write up my drafts on Google Docs and then copy and paste into Maildroid and insert the images. This should make it fairly easy to do with just my phone.
Thanks for the help!
