With today's update to Gmail, you can skip that whole process. Instead, you can view attachments <i>and</i> save files directly to Google Drive without ever leaving Gmail, making it easy to access them later from whatever device you’re on—computer, phone or tablet.<br /> <br /> The next time you open an email with attachments, you’ll see new previews of the files at the bottom of the email, from photos and videos to spreadsheets and PDFs.<br /> <div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"> <a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEgWafwEpHGaD3qkJ8al4kx2IDX2zCk22PTYNKdtxo2lG8PSRZHERpllR-Qvg-XQMivqrQlDToeuz3A0WvRZ9iTJPfY-7WT0Sc0KQj4-guHPLi-dvJDT_wF_2kpCDbVNuSiB-TZ1SA6Myro/s1600/Attachments.gif" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEgWafwEpHGaD3qkJ8al4kx2IDX2zCk22PTYNKdtxo2lG8PSRZHERpllR-Qvg-XQMivqrQlDToeuz3A0WvRZ9iTJPfY-7WT0Sc0KQj4-guHPLi-dvJDT_wF_2kpCDbVNuSiB-TZ1SA6Myro/s1600/Attachments.gif" width="625" /></a></div> When you click on one of those previews, a full-screen view of the image or document will appear.

If you’re one of the more than 120 million active Drive users, you know that saving your files to Drive lets you get to them from any computer, phone or tablet.

Instead, you can view attachments <i>and</i> save files directly to Google Drive without ever leaving Gmail, making it easy to access them later from whatever device you’re on—computer, phone or tablet.<br /> <br /> The next time you open an email with attachments, you’ll see new previews of the files at the bottom of the email, from photos and videos to spreadsheets and PDFs.<br /> <div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"> <a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEgWafwEpHGaD3qkJ8al4kx2IDX2zCk22PTYNKdtxo2lG8PSRZHERpllR-Qvg-XQMivqrQlDToeuz3A0WvRZ9iTJPfY-7WT0Sc0KQj4-guHPLi-dvJDT_wF_2kpCDbVNuSiB-TZ1SA6Myro/s1600/Attachments.gif" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEgWafwEpHGaD3qkJ8al4kx2IDX2zCk22PTYNKdtxo2lG8PSRZHERpllR-Qvg-XQMivqrQlDToeuz3A0WvRZ9iTJPfY-7WT0Sc0KQj4-guHPLi-dvJDT_wF_2kpCDbVNuSiB-TZ1SA6Myro/s1600/Attachments.gif" width="625" /></a></div> When you click on one of those previews, a full-screen view of the image or document will appear.

If you’re one of the more than 120 million active Drive users, you know that saving your files to Drive lets you get to them from any computer, phone or tablet. And if you aren’t taking advantage of Drive just yet, give it a try with your next Gmail attachment. <br /> <br /> <span class="byline-author">Posted by Scott Johnston, Director of Product Management</span> <span itemprop='author' itemscope='itemscope' itemtype='http://schema.org/Person'> <meta content='https://plus.google.com/116899029375914044550' itemprop='url'/> </span> </noscript> </div> </div> <div class='share'> <span class='gplus-share social-wrapper' data-href='https://plus.google.com/share?url=https://drive.googleblog.com/2013/11/attachments-in-gmail-now-with-power-of.html'> <img alt='Share on Google+' height='24' src='https://www.gstatic.com/images/branding/google_plus/2x/ic_w_post_gplus_black_24dp.png' width='24'/> </span> <span class='twitter-custom social-wrapper' data-href='http://twitter.com/share?text=Google Drive Blog:Attachments in Gmail, now with the power of Google Drive&url=https://drive.googleblog.com/2013/11/attachments-in-gmail-now-with-power-of.html&via=googledrive'> <img alt='Share on Twitter' height='24' src='https://www.gstatic.com/images/icons/material/system/2x/post_twitter_black_24dp.png' width='24'/> </span> <span class='fb-custom social-wrapper' data-href='https://www.facebook.com/sharer.php?u=https://drive.googleblog.com/2013/11/attachments-in-gmail-now-with-power-of.html'> <img alt='Share on Facebook' height='24' src='https://www.gstatic.com/images/icons/material/system/2x/post_facebook_black_24dp.png' width='24'/> </span> </div> <div class='comment-container'> <i class='comment-img material-icons'>  </i> <span class='cmt_count_iframe_holder' data-count='0' data-onclick='' data-post-url='https://drive.googleblog.com/2013/11/attachments-in-gmail-now-with-power-of.html' data-url='https://drive.googleblog.com/2013/11/attachments-in-gmail-now-with-power-of.html' style='color: #4184F3;'></span> </div> <div class='post-footer'> <div class='cmt_iframe_holder' data-href='https://drive.googleblog.com/2013/11/attachments-in-gmail-now-with-power-of.html' data-viewtype='FILTERED_POSTMOD'></div> <a href='https://plus.google.com/112374322230920073195' rel='author' style='display:none;'> Google </a> <div class='label-footer'> <span class='labels-caption'> Labels: </span> <span class='labels'> <a class='label' href='https://drive.googleblog.com/search/label/attachments' rel='tag'> attachments </a> , <a class='label' href='https://drive.googleblog.com/search/label/gmail' rel='tag'> gmail </a> , <a class='label' href='https://drive.googleblog.com/search/label/google%20drive' rel='tag'> google drive </a> , <a class='label' href='https://drive.googleblog.com/search/label/Google%20Drive%20Blog' rel='tag'> Google Drive Blog </a> , <a class='label' href='https://drive.googleblog.com/search/label/save%20to%20drive' rel='tag'> save to drive </a> </span> </div> </div> </div> <div class='post' data-id='6428281290992398765' itemscope='' itemtype='http://schema.org/BlogPosting'> <h2 class='title' itemprop='name'> <a href='https://drive.googleblog.com/2013/11/real-time-text-cursors-and-other.html' itemprop='url' title='Real time text cursors and other enhancements in Slides'> Real time text cursors and other enhancements in Slides </a> </h2> <div class='post-header'> <div class='published'> <span class='publishdate' itemprop='datePublished'> Tuesday, November 5, 2013 </span> </div> </div> <div class='post-body'> <div class='post-content' itemprop='articleBody'> <script type='text/template'> The Docs editors make it easy to work with others on the same file at the same time.

Starting today, you’ll be able to take advantage of four new features to create your perfect form: progress bars, data validation, embedded YouTube videos, and custom messages. <br /> <br /> <b>Guide respondents through your survey with a progress bar </b><br /> Sometimes it’s helpful to give respondents a sense of how much of a survey still needs to be completed, and now you can by turning on a progress bar in your form.<br /> <div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"> <a href="//1.bp.blogspot.com/-j_wNzXpy56w/Ui3O_tZmlxI/AAAAAAAASaI/IE5BuJTLmmA/s1600/1.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" height="116" src="//1.bp.blogspot.com/-j_wNzXpy56w/Ui3O_tZmlxI/AAAAAAAASaI/IE5BuJTLmmA/s640/1.jpg" width="640"></a></div> To turn it on, just check the progress bar box in the Form Settings tab. <br /> <div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"> <a href="//2.bp.blogspot.com/-NlR3ZiaSut4/Ui3PDTVmdrI/AAAAAAAASaQ/PPCuijZ51fY/s1600/2.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" height="52" src="//2.bp.blogspot.com/-NlR3ZiaSut4/Ui3PDTVmdrI/AAAAAAAASaQ/PPCuijZ51fY/s640/2.jpg" width="640"></a></div> <b>Get results the way you want them with data validation</b><br /> Let’s say you’re using Forms to collect sign ups for an email newsletter. With data validation, you can now ensure that the email addresses are formatted correctly, and consequently avoid those unpleasant bounce-back messages. <br /> <br /> To get started, create a new Text question in Forms, then click on the Data validation tab.

Starting today, you’ll be able to take advantage of four new features to create your perfect form: progress bars, data validation, embedded YouTube videos, and custom messages. <br /> <br /> <b>Guide respondents through your survey with a progress bar </b><br /> Sometimes it’s helpful to give respondents a sense of how much of a survey still needs to be completed, and now you can by turning on a progress bar in your form.<br /> <div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"> <a href="//1.bp.blogspot.com/-j_wNzXpy56w/Ui3O_tZmlxI/AAAAAAAASaI/IE5BuJTLmmA/s1600/1.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" height="116" src="//1.bp.blogspot.com/-j_wNzXpy56w/Ui3O_tZmlxI/AAAAAAAASaI/IE5BuJTLmmA/s640/1.jpg" width="640"></a></div> To turn it on, just check the progress bar box in the Form Settings tab. <br /> <div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"> <a href="//2.bp.blogspot.com/-NlR3ZiaSut4/Ui3PDTVmdrI/AAAAAAAASaQ/PPCuijZ51fY/s1600/2.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" height="52" src="//2.bp.blogspot.com/-NlR3ZiaSut4/Ui3PDTVmdrI/AAAAAAAASaQ/PPCuijZ51fY/s640/2.jpg" width="640"></a></div> <b>Get results the way you want them with data validation</b><br /> Let’s say you’re using Forms to collect sign ups for an email newsletter. With data validation, you can now ensure that the email addresses are formatted correctly, and consequently avoid those unpleasant bounce-back messages. <br /> <br /> To get started, create a new Text question in Forms, then click on the Data validation tab.

While we understood each other in the lab by scribbling Greek letters and numbers to solve problems, at times it was difficult to communicate since English wasn’t her first language. So when we had to create our presentation, it sounded like a grueling task for both of us. <br /> <br /> We decided to use <a href="//www.google.com/drive/apps.html" target="_blank">Slides</a>, divide the work, add notes, and edit together from within the presentation. Our communication was clear and efficient when we typed comments to each other since we could take our time to be articulate, which virtually dissolved our language barrier. In the end, creating the presentation was quite enjoyable; we were proud of the final product and our professors were impressed by how well we worked together. <br /> <div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"> <a href="//4.bp.blogspot.com/-_4LUJ8Wh0Tw/Uh9e02f8KeI/AAAAAAAASXU/LDKAlAPcUHY/s1600/slidesupdate.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" height="440" src="//4.bp.blogspot.com/-_4LUJ8Wh0Tw/Uh9e02f8KeI/AAAAAAAASXU/LDKAlAPcUHY/s640/slidesupdate.jpg" width="640"></a></div> <br /> <div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"> </div> <b>Example 3: Using Forms to organize information and make it universally accessible and useful...sound familiar?</b><br /> <br /> Being a full-time student and an active member of an extracurricular activity (sport, club, fraternity/sorority, etc.) can sometimes feel like a full-time job.

Google Keep can remind you of important tasks and errands at just the right time and place. For example, Keep works with Google Now to remind you of your grocery list when you walk into your favorite grocery store, and nudges you on Thursday night to take out the trash.<br /> <br /> <span id="docs-internal-guid-6f94116e-a161-4fcf-5842-4cc4ee1557c8">      <img height="480px;" src="https://lh6.googleusercontent.com/DwJ08zWN-oXrSJ_w1wuF4Y8p5wuzj1FmiREZonyTj9nJLaSCSyDCMoEBKy4Lm_bNi18jKk0ZzR465x8WK6-AndpIycSRCp0WyPuVxZPFhzDKOkmILGU7dNpXog" width="300px;" /><img height="480px;" src="https://lh4.googleusercontent.com/QXr2IomROw5qrmWOdRudNOvsNTHvKCFFMg61GFrUJJbDFTGzbFHza2DpndMGstCwQCnwdOeZKE6Do6UMoEdqxlqReik_aujMjWHXohsDQUaIaa1NFu3uPZGDtQ" width="300px;" /></span><br /> To get started, select the “Remind me” button from the bottom of any note and choose the type of reminder you want to add. You can add time-based reminders for a specific date and time, or a more general time of day, like tomorrow morning. Adding a location reminder is incredibly easy too – as soon as you start typing Google Keep suggests places nearby.<br /> <br /> <div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"> <span id="docs-internal-guid-6f94116e-a162-66e8-8f7d-a0eb2fc26462" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img height="250px;" src="https://lh3.googleusercontent.com/-1Vkzsy5fYfcpJeMjLJlJ5i8DRJBLPibyhPh9lggA8Gdp4jqGeNMofnqJN71udNLj_lN9XjKEmfb4kGlt_CHXsEUH2jejb79dvzLuX4itZA9k5W1SoVGBzrs_g" width="226px;" /></span></div> <br /> Of course, sometimes plans change.

And if you need more storage, this is your place to upgrade, with plans starting at $4.99/month for 100 GB.<br /> <br /> Pro tip: This change means you’re no longer limited to a 25 GB upgrade in Gmail—any additional storage you purchase now applies there, too.<br /> <br /> These changes to Google Drive storage will roll out over the next couple of weeks. Google Apps users will also be getting shared storage, so visit the <a href="http://googleenterprise.blogspot.com/2013/05/bringing-it-all-together-for-google.html" target="_blank">enterprise blog</a> to learn more. <br /> <br /> Posted by Clay Bavor, Director of Product Management <span itemprop='author' itemscope='itemscope' itemtype='http://schema.org/Person'> <meta content='https://plus.google.com/116899029375914044550' itemprop='url'/> </span> </noscript> </div> </div> <div class='share'> <span class='gplus-share social-wrapper' data-href='https://plus.google.com/share?url=https://drive.googleblog.com/2013/05/bringing-it-all-together-15-gb-now.html'> <img alt='Share on Google+' height='24' src='https://www.gstatic.com/images/branding/google_plus/2x/ic_w_post_gplus_black_24dp.png' width='24'/> </span> <span class='twitter-custom social-wrapper' data-href='http://twitter.com/share?text=Google Drive Blog:Bringing it all together: 15 GB now shared between Drive, Gmail, and Google+ Photos&url=https://drive.googleblog.com/2013/05/bringing-it-all-together-15-gb-now.html&via=googledrive'> <img alt='Share on Twitter' height='24' src='https://www.gstatic.com/images/icons/material/system/2x/post_twitter_black_24dp.png' width='24'/> </span> <span class='fb-custom social-wrapper' data-href='https://www.facebook.com/sharer.php?u=https://drive.googleblog.com/2013/05/bringing-it-all-together-15-gb-now.html'> <img alt='Share on Facebook' height='24' src='https://www.gstatic.com/images/icons/material/system/2x/post_facebook_black_24dp.png' width='24'/> </span> </div> <div class='comment-container'> <i class='comment-img material-icons'>  </i> <span class='cmt_count_iframe_holder' data-count='0' data-onclick='' data-post-url='https://drive.googleblog.com/2013/05/bringing-it-all-together-15-gb-now.html' data-url='https://drive.googleblog.com/2013/05/bringing-it-all-together-15-gb-now.html' style='color: #4184F3;'></span> </div> <div class='post-footer'> <div class='cmt_iframe_holder' data-href='https://drive.googleblog.com/2013/05/bringing-it-all-together-15-gb-now.html' data-viewtype='FILTERED_POSTMOD'></div> <a href='https://plus.google.com/112374322230920073195' rel='author' style='display:none;'> Google </a> <div class='label-footer'> <span class='labels-caption'> Labels: </span> <span class='labels'> <a class='label' href='https://drive.googleblog.com/search/label/Google%20Drive%20Blog' rel='tag'> Google Drive Blog </a> </span> </div> </div> </div> <div class='post' data-id='7979602521507666365' itemscope='' itemtype='http://schema.org/BlogPosting'> <h2 class='title' itemprop='name'> <a href='https://drive.googleblog.com/2013/05/access-google-keep-with-new-chrome-app.html' itemprop='url' title='Access Google Keep with the new Chrome app'> Access Google Keep with the new Chrome app </a> </h2> <div class='post-header'> <div class='published'> <span class='publishdate' itemprop='datePublished'> Thursday, May 2, 2013 </span> </div> </div> <div class='post-body'> <div class='post-content' itemprop='articleBody'> <script type='text/template'> Last month, Google Keep <a href="http://googledrive.blogspot.com/2013/03/google-keepsave-whats-on-your-mind.html" target="_blank">launched</a> to help you quickly jot down ideas and keep track of things while on the go with your <a href="https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=com.google.android.keep&hl=en" target="_blank">Android</a> device or <a href="http://drive.google.com/keep" target="_blank">on the web</a>.

There’s super-fast search to find what you’re looking for and when you’re finished with a note you can archive or delete it.<br /> <div style="text-align: center;"> <br /></div> <div style="text-align: center;"> <iframe allowfullscreen="" frameborder="0" height="281" src="//www.youtube.com/embed/UbvkHEDvw-o" width="500"></iframe> </div> <div style="text-align: left;"> <br /></div> <div style="text-align: left;"> Changing priorities isn’t a problem: just open Keep on your Android phone or tablet (there’s a widget so you can have Keep front and center all the time) and drag your notes around to reflect what matters. You can choose the color for each note too.</div> <br /> Pro tip: for adding thoughts quickly without unlocking your device there's a lock screen widget (on devices running Android 4.2+).<br /> <br /> <div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"> <a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjSWIpV6k7dxozjZ6VNNfxMxYX0hJN4ruoKTJBc8fKLyqEik9yEn8ODa9pFIiJaXsGxLPB_ppUlwqBEZ6-nOTGw8NzDi7vz4NG9xoA7KSvoaZ7k0OcvUxH8BCQwGndOMXzKkL7vbdQh7JM/s1600/blog-hero.png" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" height="400" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjSWIpV6k7dxozjZ6VNNfxMxYX0hJN4ruoKTJBc8fKLyqEik9yEn8ODa9pFIiJaXsGxLPB_ppUlwqBEZ6-nOTGw8NzDi7vz4NG9xoA7KSvoaZ7k0OcvUxH8BCQwGndOMXzKkL7vbdQh7JM/s400/blog-hero.png" width="250" /></a><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEj5msjtnyw0VfzCAByDCl0j7blTx-KwTNd2FGxu_9Rdyu4-Y4pdE0eVoOXpjJklPXbrWqj2-xX29xsE6JVBcdtHGtMDkANU1fYPb8JQKWtT1IVJaCNtHMcaQVnIuT1QnAm2ZME2bXDCUkg/s1600/blog-widget_2.png" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" height="400" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEj5msjtnyw0VfzCAByDCl0j7blTx-KwTNd2FGxu_9Rdyu4-Y4pdE0eVoOXpjJklPXbrWqj2-xX29xsE6JVBcdtHGtMDkANU1fYPb8JQKWtT1IVJaCNtHMcaQVnIuT1QnAm2ZME2bXDCUkg/s400/blog-widget_2.png" width="250" /></a></div> <br /> <a href="https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=com.google.android.keep">Google Keep</a> is available on Google Play for devices running Android 4.0, Ice Cream Sandwich and above.
