Attachments in Emails

Maximum Attachment Size

Zoho Mail provides a wide set of choices to add attachments to your email. The maximum size of the attachment is based on the subscription plan for organization users. All paid plan users can use the Huge Attachments feature in Zoho Mail to overcome the size limitations. When the attachment size exceeds the limit, you will have the option to attach it as a link directly from your composer in Zoho Mail. This feature supports attachments up to 250 MB with the Mail Lite plan, 500 MB with the Workplace Standard plan, and 1 GB with Mail Premium and Workplace professional plans. 

For personal users, the maximum email size including all attachments is 20MB. However, in the case of organization users, administrators can add further restrictions to the email size using Mail Policy.

Generally, when you add attachments to your emails, the files get MIME encoded as per the RFC standards, to make them readable by the recipients, irrespective of the providers. For business purposes, it is always recommended to follow email attachment best practices to ensure email security.

Drag and Drop Attachments

Drag and Drop from Desktop

  1. Open the editor to draft the email. 
  2. Select the attachments from your desktop.
  3. Drag them into the Composer window.
  4. A drop area with the text 'Drop files here' will appear.
  5. Drop the dragged files inside the box.
  6. The files will be added as attachments to the email. 

Note: The Attachment Drag and drop feature and attach multiple files features are supported in Firefox 3.6 and above, Chrome 6.0 and above only.
