Avoid bounced or blocked attachments
When an email attachment is rejected, compressed poorly, or too heavy for a thread, a direct download link is usually cleaner for both sender and recipient.
Gmail attachment workaround
Gmail attachment too large? Send a temporary download link instead.
Large videos, PDF packs, ZIP archives, and client files can be awkward when Gmail refuses the attachment or forces a different sharing flow. Upload the file to SendUp and paste one clean temporary link into your email.
- ✓Send files up to 1 GB as a link instead of an email attachment.
- ✓Useful for PDFs, videos, ZIP files, reports, design exports, and client deliverables.
- ✓Set an expiry time or optional password before sending the Gmail message.

Keep the email message lightweight
Instead of pushing a heavy file through the inbox, send a short note with the download link and any password or expiry context the recipient needs.
Good for one-time email delivery
This flow is best when the recipient needs to download the file once. For shared editing, comments, or version history, a collaborative drive is the better tool.
