Google Inc. has raised the size limits on its YouTube video-sharing site and on Gmail attachments.
YouTube has increased the size limits on videos uploaded to its site in an apparent move to ease the use of high-definition content.
The popular video-sharing unit of Google (NASDAQ: GOOG) has doubled the size of videos allowed on the site to 2 gigabytes, but non-partner clips are still limited in length to 10 minutes.
The move (noted here on its help pages) comes less than a year after YouTube increased the size limit from 100 megabytes.
Gmail accounts, meanwhile, now have a 25-megabyte limit on attachments, up from 20 megabytes previously.
The company warns, however, that users' attachments may bounce off of other email systems which have smaller attachment limits. This is apparently seen by the company as an entry to getting more Gmail users as it includes this suggestion on its Gmail help page: "If your attachment bounces, you should invite them to Gmail."
