One of the most boring things when receiving attachments via email is managing them. The most precise will always be ready to save them on the local computer in the right folder.
This can be useful but it does not solve the problem of finding the attachment received if you use another computer.
You can always use the search function of Gmail, very effective and useful, but a more effective and better solution is to save all the files received on the Gmail box in a cloud drive .
A cloud storage service allows you to upload files to a private space on the internet and keep a copy of those files even on synchronized PCs, of any size.
Thanks to the extensions for Google Chrome, you can keep all the attachments received on Gmail and also send files of any size using your favorite cloud service, Google Drive or Dropbox .
Since December 2012 it is possible Google Drive is integrated with Gmail so you can send large attachments even without using extensions or plugins.
Since 2015, the Dropbox extension for Gmail has been available, which integrates into every window for writing a new message.
An alternative extension, more simplified and with less functionality, allows you to send attachments from Gmail to Dropbox, Box, Facebook and other sharing services is Attach Cloud files for Gmail
Kloudless is an extension to be installed on Firefox and Chrome to send and receive Gmail attachments in a Cloud account such as Google Drive, Onedrive or Dropbox.
It first requires authorization to the Gmail account to install itself in the interface of the Google mail site.
With Kloudless, every time you open a message with an attachment inside it, a new button appears on the right side of the Gmail page to save attachments in your favorite cloud space.
You can also automate the process of uploading attachments online and you can send attachments by taking them from Dropbox, Google Drive or Onedrive.
If you use another mail service, remember that you can always receive and send mail from Gmail with another email address .
