What is the maximunm attachment size allowed?

I need to email a few fairly large files (up to 200MB) and don't want to FTP them this time for personal reasons.

by oz_media

You didn't write your addy for me to copy and paste, so I hope I got it right.

Have fun

Your new G account is on the way.
You might check you junk mail, sometime they get filter out for some reason.

I've been trying to keep from begging for one of these accounts, but I... just... can't... stop myself! Please send one to danandjuliedavis@yahoo.com (yeah, I know, check the "Bulk Mail" folder; hopefully GMail is better at spam filtering!)

TIA!

by jdclyde

my Spam setting was set to auto delete all Spam.

(oops)

Not an account I use everyday, and I don't remember setting that.

Can this be re-sent?

Thanks

I have had a gmail account for about 6-7 months now, but i never realized so many folks wanted one.

Soo...if there are more folks who need it..I am fully loaded with all 6 of my invites. let me know.

by sitizn wille

You will get 6 invites to give away after you have had your account for awhile. If you give them away you should get some more after a few days, I have given away lots of gmail accounts.

When I signed up, there was a invite 4 friends link in the top right of the mail window.

Someone else I signed up didn't see it.

People that FIRST signed up were asked to invite 20, then 12, then 6 etc.

I think they are just trying to control/test initial sign-up rates, server loads etc. as it is still Beta at this time.

Yesterday a company spammed ads on TR and was just lambasted for it.

A week ago, someone offered free recruiting advice, and was just lambasted for it.

Before that we had people advertising password hacks, and they were also lambasted for it.

Advertising and marketing just doesn't fly on TR, period!

So then Google has new beta users test an email system and market it in pyramid fashion to spread the word. And everyone is lining up in droves and advertising/marketing it for them, myself included of course, people are happy and thankful for THIS particular adveryising on TR.

Tough crowd or what!?

Just found it amusing. :)

by rob_serve

I pointed that out in my first thread. I think the fact we are not selling anything, and any moderators watching will all get free invitees ;)
I love the way that a thread picks up and loads of people start going on it, shooting us up to HOT2. BVut this is great, and im sure everyone will agree that it is really great layout and space- ive got 260 emails and i've used 1%!!
BTW, everyone using gmail please stay in touch tell me what you think!

by sitizn wille

Can't beleive that this tread has exploded with post!! Gmail scored big time here :-)
I have copied your gmail account and put it in my contacts, so I can keep in touch about this service.

This is TR, no moderators watching. :)

We shoo the idiots away quick enough in most cases.

by jdclyde

Makes a big difference on how it is approached and why.

With the head hunter, if he wouldn't have been such a tool would have been better received. Between his e-mail and his typing, he had nothing of value to offer us.

And the movers even weren't too bad until after about the tenth posting or so in a purely spam format and mentality.

By the way, have I told you about the widgets I make?

Have a great weekend all.

by oz_media

Man, everywhere I go the sales examples used are all about widgets. You must be one heck of a good businesman and a VERY rich one at that!

The world seeks to use your inventions as a benchmark of success, one day I will be amongst the privaleged few who get to share your wisdom. I just gotta remember to stop arguing with you over trivial issues!

That's worth my noting.

Pathetic flame attampts on my alias and all, well now they have an address next time they get mine wrong. :D

Nobody is forced to participate in an offer such as this.
Tech Republic can in no way be held accountable for any damags caused.
There is no exchange of money.
There is no false advertisement, misrepresentation of any sort, just an invitation to consider a service.
No comittment by anyone.

No moderators anyway, no guidelines printed to show otherwise, no illegal activity, Mr.Gates.

I am interested in a gmail account. I have been sitting here on Firefox with GMail Notifier and nothing for it to notify me about. Contact me at rwatters28@hotmail.com

New Legislation:

The changes are designed to deter people from creating multiple e-mail accounts with the purpose of reselling or trading them, according to a source at the company. The policy alterations do not target people trying to barter Gmail invitations, which allow people to sign up for a new membership.

So I think we're okay here.
Rob

by jdclyde

Didn't get any invites. They don't love me anymore.

Thanks for the info OZ, and thanks for the account Sitizn.

by tomsal

oooh sorry I meant that as G-mail. ;)

Anyway for best (and fastest) response you can try contacting me through the peer directory.

-Tom

by thechas

Thank you Oz,

Now all I need to do is decide what mail to move to my Gmail account from my other 4 web based mail accounts.

You'll soon realize Oz, that there is no such thing as a last one. Gmail invites are a plague. I gave a few of mine away about half a year ago, and they just don't stop coming. You'll never get rid of those pesky little buggers... you'll just learn to ignore them. You can give away all six... a week later, you'll have six more.

by oz_media

I used up all my current invites though. I actually have 3 accounts for different uses so I got a whack of them up front.

by rob_serve

ironically me who started this thread now is not being given any new invites by gmail!! they must have caught a whiff of my dirty scam!!
Also, anyone notice the gmail downtime last night (saturday GMT) which may hold back the launch date
regards rob

by oz_media

I did use it to transfer some large file to a band the other day. I just like the upload size. Then they just log in to the same account on the other end and can download larger files without me using FTP to my own sites.

I'm still using my other online account for my general mail though and my residential mail without POP setup.

by hotchile

Hi Oz,
Share files, this is a cool. Do you know if you could do this on other email accounts and would they be encrypted on G or others?
Skype have a file transfer option which is also pretty good.
Just send it over with Skype file transfer. It?s secure and encrypted like the rest of Skype, and handles files of any size.
Kind Regards

by rob_serve
