Attaching files to your emails in Mailbird Next is quick and simple, and we'll explain how you can do this in two simple ways.

📎 How to add attachments

Here's how you can add attachments to an email message:

  • Click the attachment icon (paperclip) in the Compose window and select your file.

  • Drag and drop the file directly into the Compose window from your desktop or file browser.

đź’ˇ Tip: When you drag a file into the Compose window, it will automatically attach once you release your mouse button.

📏 File Size Limits

Keep in mind that your email provider may have limits on attachment sizes. This is beyond Mailbird’s control. For example:

  • Gmail’s limit is 25MB.

    • If your file exceeds this size, the email will not be sent.

    • Learn more about Gmail’s attachment limits.

đź’ˇ Workaround for Large Files

If your file is too large to attach, you can upload it to a cloud storage service (like Google Drive) and include a shareable link in your email.

Here’s how to share files via Google Drive.
