Yandex Mail lets you attach any files up to 22 MB individually and 30 MB in total per email. You can also insert a link into a file you upload to the Yandex Disk cloud service, which raises that limit to 2 GB per file.
For attachments you receive, Yandex Mail offers a convenient document viewer that displays Microsoft 365 and Office documents as well as PDF files in your browser. When you select a supported attachment, it opens in a separate window. Select Save to Yandex Disk to store it in the cloud.
Sending attachments and large files in Yandex Mail is simple and user-friendly. Here’s how to do it:

Sending Large Files in Yandex Mail
Yandex Mail has a file size limit of 25 MB for email attachments. To send larger files, use Yandex.Disk, a cloud storage service integrated with Yandex Mail.
- Upload to Yandex.Disk:
- Open Yandex.Disk and log in with your Yandex credentials.
- Upload your large files to Yandex.Disk by dragging and dropping them into the interface or using the “Upload” button.
- Share a Link:
- Once the file is uploaded, locate it in Yandex.Disk.
- Right-click on the file and select “Share Link” or “Copy Link.”
- Insert the Link into the Email:
- Compose a new email in Yandex Mail.
- Paste the copied link into the email body for the recipient to download the file.
Additional Tips
- Compress Files:
- If your file is slightly over the limit, compress it using tools like WinRAR or ZIP before attaching.
- Use Multiple Emails:
- For files that cannot be compressed or uploaded, split them into smaller parts and send them across multiple emails.
- Set Permissions:
- When sharing links from Yandex.Disk, ensure the permissions are set to allow the recipient to access the file.
- Alternative Cloud Services:
- If Yandex.Disk is not an option, consider using third-party services like Google Drive, Dropbox, or WeTransfer to generate a shareable link.
By following these steps, you can seamlessly send both regular and large files through Yandex Mail, ensuring efficient communication and file sharing.
