Gmail attachment size

    Hi.

    I use Postman SMTP to send zipped database backups as attachments via Gmail. This worked fine until the database recently grew larger and now, despite the attached file size being within the limit set by Gmail (35MB), the mail sending fails with the following error message:

    Error calling POST https://www.googleapis.com/gmail/v1/users/me/messages/send: (413) <TITLE>Request Entity Too Large</TITLE> <H1>Request Entity Too Large</H1> <H2>Error 413</H2>

    This Stack Overflow forum post explains that a different method must be used when using the Gmail API to attach a file over anything but a few MB: http://stackoverflow.com/questions/24462184/413-request-entity-too-large

    Please could you let me know if there’s anything I can do to fix this problem myself? If not, is it possible for you to amend the plugin to cope with sending larger attachments via Gmail?

    Many thanks,
    Mathew Taylor

    Hi all,

    Bumping this old post because I just began experiencing this issue as well. I tried to add the custom header to the postman settings that’s mentioned in that SO link (Content-type: multipart/related; boundary=\”part_boundary\”0, but it did not seem make a difference.

    Any ideas? Much appreciated!
