Attachments size ?

Hi guys,

I've found this on salesforce.com help link
"The maximum for one or more files attached to emails is 10MB."

and this on the api doc,
"The maximum email attachment size is also 1.5MB."

I don't get it !?!

thanks

Hi Basil,

This is a documentation error, but there is still a difference in the size of document that can be attached via the api versus the app.

The api limits the attachment size to 5 mb.

I know that it is possible to attach more than one file

in that case is the the total size should be less or equal than 5 mb

or it is always one file shoulb less or equal than 5 mb, no matter how many files i send ?

The sizes refer to the size of a single attachment.

Hi,

I see in sforce API6 pdf file about this

"The create call restricts Attachments to a maximum size of 5MB. For a file attached to a Solution, the limit is 1.5MB. The maximum email attachment size is 3MB."

What does it mean, maximum size = 5MB and maximum email attachment is 3MB

Please advise and thanks.

OK, I saw the limit of 5MB per attachment, 10MB per contact? per account?
 
Is there a limit for our entire database? Can I upload 10MB for each contact if I need to?
 
I'm new (you probably guessed that) and I'm trying to decide how the company will store data relevant to specific accounts. Uploading to accounts and/or contacts, or opportunities would be ideal, but I need to know what the limitations are going to be.
 
Thanks,
