What is the upper limit for attachments in PMs around here?(Solved)

Like the title says.
I can't upload a 130MB zip file full of photos to someone that requested them. I also can't find any info on this.
I thought I'd leave the pics in the thread as an attachment, but it won't take a file that large there either.

Help.
Eric.

I think it's 1 mb. I tried to send a 1.5 mb file to someone and it wouldn't let me.

If you have a gmail account then you should have about 5gb of Google Drive space. You can upload it there, and PM (or email) the link.

Thanks. Someone else beat you to it a few days ago in another thread.
I did end up doing that with Google since I had an account through You Tube.
They are strange at Google. I uploaded a file there on the Drive thing, and g-nash tried to send me a confirmation and thanks, but I couldn't receive the message, until I set that up too. Why does Google let a person send a message to a message account that doesn't exist??? No need to answer that. *!greengrin!*
I love Google in some ways, but I hate how they tie everything together, because of the potential security issues.

Later, Eric.
