Have you ever been warned about the file size limit when attempting to attach a large file in Outlook?
Outlook restricts the size of files sent as attachments in emails due to email server restrictions.

If you want to attach a file with a larger size to an email in Outlook, the only way to do so is to upload and save the file to a shared cloud and create a link for sharing.
