Attachments FAQ and Troubleshooting

🤔What is the maximum size of attachments?

  • OUTGOING Email combined file size  (across all) attachments is limited to 20 MB. 💡Your local organizational limits set for the mailbox may deviate from this.  A popup will inform when this limit is exceeded. 
  • INCOMING Email attachments have no size limits.
 
 

🤔Are attachment checks performed?

☝️ No – aside from displaying links and attachments for download, Nimbus does NOT perform any attachment filtering or checks for malicious files. 

✅ As mailbox owner/administrator you need to ensure that according filters and malware checks are applied on the mailbox before reaching the inbox folder.

 
 

🤔Are attachments not showing?

💡 If for any reason attachments cannot be shown / downloaded in Nimbus, a message will be shown instead, informing that the attachments should be checked directly in the mailbox.

✅ If you have encountered a use case of clearly non-malicious files which you expect to handle via the Nimbus UI please contact support so we can analyze your case and extend the list of allowed attachments.
