I need more than the 25 mb limit for email attachments, my dudes!

That's not really a Proton Mail limit - if the mail is too big, it'll just be rejected by some other mailserver on its way, even if Proton allowed it through.

And Proton would get a lot of support cases from people asking why the mail they sent to a Gmail account was returned...

Even if they open it up a lot of other places still limit 25 meg ingress.

That's a job for Dropbox or a web server or WebDav or any one of a million other things designed to move large files.

25mb was a large file like 30 years ago. Now it's like a couple PDFs with some pictures in it

Be that as it may, email is still a bad candidate for file transfer, and a lot of third parties have restrictive limits on file size.

Use the drive space for bigger items

This is how Google solves it. Would be nice to have that integration between mail and drive.

Oh my bad, I must have missed that. I used mail without drive for the longest time and only just recently started using drive.
