File size limitations in Dynamics CRM

A friend of mine asked me about file size limits the other week and wondered if it was possible to set different limitations on attachments and uploads. This made me start to look for these settings and I didn't find anything.

The scenario my friend was describing was that he wanted to limit file size on email attachemnts but at the same time allowing uploaded files of a larger size than those of the email. Today the only setting on file sizes are that of the attachments to emails and this setting is used for all file size limitations of the entire system, from emails to files you want to add to an account or a contact and also data imports. The latter can be amended somewhat by zipping the file but it might hinder a large data import.

This made me start a ticket on connect so if you have run into these kind of problems or think you might please go to the link below and vote for this issue and it might make it into the program in the future.
