The new integration allows for 10GB files to be sent through email, a massive upgrade over the current 25MB limitations.

Too little to late for email I'm afraid. Still, it will be nice if this catches on. One less hoop to jump through...

Yeah usually if I need to share a large file I just throw it on dropbox. One upload, many downloads vs many uploads, many downloads. There's a time and place for each though.

Its a good cloud email Idea and the pi5wtes don't need to use this when they have jumbo files that gives them 500gb of space and they can upload what they want to there. for me this will be great as most of my family use gmail and we send pictures all the time to each other and not just one or 3 the other day I got over 150 photos and they where all png files.

Dropbox limits to 300MB via web upload but upload limit via "folder" is dictated by DB size only. I've got 10.8GB yo!

As for Skydrive..........LIE! Tried doing a 2GB file month or two ago.....denied.

Er without data resume from pauses or loss of connection what good is it?

Copyright infringement is nothing more than civil disobedience to a bad set of laws. Lets renegotiate them.

Also, great if you have an unlimited data internet plan, but not so great if you don't.

I use Pando to send large amounts of data through my e-mail.It works with any type of e-mail account and is free. The paid for version allows you to send up to 3 GB's of data.
I have used it to send my friends in the Philippines copies of movies I converted to MP4's.It depends on your ISP how fast you can transfer data back and forth. Both you the sender and the recipient have to have the program installed on your computer for it to work.You don't need to have an unlimited data plan either.
