Hi,


In the past in the Mountain Lion (Messages 7.x.x) I have sent quite large photos via the iMessages account of several GBs of data.


I have yet to do the same in Messages 8 (Mavericks) but don't expect for this to have changed.


I do know that the Messages 8 app tends to zip some files before sending when dragged from other apps such as a Browser or iPhoto.


I have sent a Keynote file to my iPhone in Messages 7.x.x but this was only 334 kb


What sort of files are you trying to send ?

If not zipped already it may pay to try this first.
