Hi, I've just been reading about Google allowing 10gig file attachments with emails. Then I thought does downloading a email with ISO attached differ from just downloading a ISO from a bandwidth point of view? If you could have a link that repeat sends a email that's already in the email directory in the cloud. i.e. send a email once then repeat sends just come from the email server. benefit - no download server required, my email downloads faster than most servers cons - relying on Google mail DC _________________ a little bit of knowledge and I'm dangerous |

Alternatively you could just email anyone (even if they don't have Gmail) a link to your ISO file on a Google drive. [ I think this in essence is what Google are doing , just internally. They're not transmitting GBs of data attached to each email, just attaching a link to download that data ] |

But how trusting are you to give your email address to someone for sending or receiving that ISO as an attachment? |

You might want to read this white paper. As Barkin mentioned, Google's offering is about providing a link to Google Drive, within Gmail, so I don't think it is much different from data file host or dropbox or other download storage sites.
