Am I the only one thinking this is fake because its a 32MB file?

Email usually caps out at 25MB...

25MB is "the" limit because gmail is basically the email provider.

If you send an attachment above 25 it makes it a gdrive link

For schools, self hosted Ms office is the norm, so idk if Gmail limit is in effect.

There are other mail providers as well. Not sure about the limits though

This dude is still down there trying so hard to prove he is right lol

They're technically half right though. Gmail does have a native send limit of 25mb, and anything above that will be a drive link. They can just receive larger ones and other services like 365 have higher limits available.
