Google has updated its free webmail service, Gmail by doubling the file attachment limit from 10MB to 20MB.

A Gmail page leaves this message:

With Gmail, you can send and receive messages up to 20 megabytes (MB) in size. However, the precise amount allowable will depend on the attachment.

Unsurprisingly, Google must look forward to make a score in webmail market against Microsoft, Yahoo and other service providers.

But here lies a problem. The Gmail users can send big files (say 20MB) to other Gmail users. Can they send big attachments to non-Gmail accounts from their Gmail?

In a strict sense, they can not send bigger files to non-Gmail friends. Or they must find a user of paid services to send larger attachments.
