Sort Gmail by Size: Looking for Large Files
Large files can take up valuable space in your Gmail account. While sometimes you may need to keep these files, other times you can get rid of them and clear up precious space.

- Go to the Search Mail bar and type size:[file size]. For example, if you want to find all emails greater than 5 MB, you can type the following: size:5000000. The size you type will be in bytes.
- Another option is to search for a range of file sizes using a function. Using the search bar, you can type the following: larger_than:XMB smaller_than:YMB. In this function, you can replace the X and Y with the desired number range.
