That depends on the email provider. Most limit it to 10 MB, a few to 20 MB. If you routinely need to exchange a lot of files then something like Dropbox, box.com, Google Drive or Microsoft OneDrive is a better solution. They have no limit for all practical purposes.

How are you sending the files; email or text? Both have limits; it isn’t the number of files, it is the total file size. However, you can enable Mail Drop, that will allow you to sent up to 2 GB in one email by “staging” it in iCloud. See this link→Add an email attachment in Mail on iCloud.com - Apple Support, specifically on enabling Mail Drop.

Yes there are always limits to sending files.
Thanks but im sending an Icloud link, this is not regulated by email size. Do you know if Icloud links have limits.
My guess is the phone has file size limits but Apple support dont know what the limit is from my enquiry about a week ago hence my enquiry here?
Thx for reply, I have tried all ways to send however icloud link seems the best performer. If there is a limit to total file size would you know that limit?
I think it’s 2 GB
Ok thank you, i can now test this theory, it gives me a starting point.
