Google is adding a new feature to Gmail that lets you use Google Drive to send large files as attachments. How large? Up to 10GB (http://gmailblog.blogspot.com/2012/11/gmail-and-drive-new-way-to-send-files.html).
That’s about 400 times larger than the 25MB limit on traditional Gmail attachments.

When you’re composing an email, you’ll now have the choice of hitting the paperclip icon to attach a small file or the Google Drive icon for larger files.
Google provides Drive users with up to 5GB of disk space for free, so if you actually want to send a 10GB file you’ll either need to pay for more storage or buy a Chromebook — since that will net you 100GB of extra disk space for 2 years.
Or you could just upload your files to SkyDrive, Dropbox or another site and paste a link into your email message like you probably do now.
