There was a time when people had to wait for large attachments of important E-mails to be first downloaded and then were needed to be saved manually, delaying the actual purpose of the mail. Similarly, attaching the files to the mails with Hotmail and even Yahoo were never that quick to keep the pace fast, often resulting in severe irritation. Noticing these consumer crises, it was the great-Google that planned up a solution. Think about a scenario where all your attachments within the mail would automatically be saved to your own customized folders, by simply adding a label to it. With Google Drive, it is possible. The feature that makes it unique enough to be appreciated is the fact that you can synchronize your Google Drive with your desktop, making an automatically update in your local drive each time your attachment moves to your folder in Google Drive. This means that you can always keep a track of your attached documents even offline via your local drives.
Google Drive was grabbing huge audience even before it launch and it has taken up the market largely since the day it has appeared on screen that is a few days back. Google drive provides it users a cloud storage up to 5GB. If you have a dropbox account then you can also move your customized folders from your Google Sky Drive to your Dropbox. All you need to take the advantage of this wonderful launch of Google is to download a Google Chrome extension, formally known as Gmail Attachment to Drive which will enable you to save all your Gmail attachments from your account to your cloud storage, also allowing you to save Documents without worrying about the type of file.
