Email Attachment Size Limits – Exchange

Emails sent through the UVM’s Exchange Server can be at most 20MBs in size.

This 20MB cap includes not only the attachments, but also the message itself, meaning the actual max file size that can be shared through UVM email is slightly lower than 20MB.

Trying to Share a Larger File?

You can send larger files (up to 200GB in size) using the ETS File Transfer Service.
