Let’s learn easy way of transferring files between Gmail and Google Drive.
Gmail and Google Drive, both are the online services provided by Google.
What is Gmail and Google Drive?
These days, where the necessity of e-mail is in its peak, Google has provided free services with a lot of functionality through Gmail. As of October 2018, the Gmail user reached 1.5 billion.
Google Drive, on the other hand, is a file storage platform. We can store any type of files including images, videos, pdf, txt file, and many more.
With one Google account, any user can access its huge list of online services including the most popular video-sharing platform youtube. Each account comes with 15 GB free storage and we can upgrade to more with the subscription plan.
We often use Gmail as a reliable, most secure file sharing option. And why not? Google is the best (my opinion). We get sometimes attachments with the mail which might be of great importance and want to store in our Google Drive. Most people first download the file from Gmail and upload it to Google Drive which takes time. Yet there is a simple solution a few ones are noticing of.
