Zendesk Attachment Size Limitations Explained
What are the attachment size limitations in Zendesk?
Zendesk has specific size limitations for attachments to ensure smooth processing. The inbound email and web form attachment limit for a single file is 50 MB, while the total of all outbound email attachments cannot exceed 10 MB.
If these limits are exceeded, attachments are processed as linked attachments instead. For outbound email, the attachment limit for a single linked file is 50 MB, and up to 500 files can be attached. If you try to attach a file larger than 50 MB, an error message will inform you that the file is too large.
