find large attachments in gmail and other tricks

I was lucky and I’m still grandfathered into gmail for domains for free, but I only get 15GBs of space including my Gdrive and photos. So I’m always trying to keep my attachments small in gmail. Here’s a quick tip to search for large attachments.

size:5000000

This will show you emails with attachment greater than 5MB. You can change the number higher or lower depending on the size of attachments your looking for.
