- Most email systems limit the maximum email size to relatively small sizes. For example services like Gmail offer 2GB storage, but do not allow messages over 10MB in size.
- When a file is sent back and forth the encoding method used to embed the file into an email can increase the filesize from 15-30%! This waste of bandwidth just slows down the sending and recieving process for both you and your clients.
- Internet Ettiqute suggests against emailing people attachments without their permission, but if you simply email people a URL to your file you leave the decision of if/when to download the file in their control. People appreciate this level of consideration.
