Gmail users will be pleased: you guys can now send files as large as 10 gigabytes! Look, in the world of email, this is quite something.

What’s more is that users don’t have to do anything to enable the service because it has already automatically synchronised with Google’s Drive storage system. The only catch – Gmail will double check whether the recipient of the email will have access to Google Drive. If they don’t, you’ll be prompted to change the sharing settings without having to leave your email.

Microsoft’s new Outlook mail already has the same functionality over SkyDrive – so we can’t call this innovative – but who sends spreadsheets that size anyway? So Gmail users will be stoked.

The downside? Well you probably don’t want to be working for Dropbox, YouSendIt or similar companies that allow you to send and share files of various sizes. Their free plans definitely don’t offer anything near to what Gmail now offers (Dropbox allows users two gigabytes of storage).

This seems like a service Gmail users should have had for some time already, but one has to be patient sometimes.
