How To Attach Files To Gmail Messages Quickly And Efficiently ?

It's time consuming effort when you are attaching multiple files from your computer and send it comfortably in Gmail. Any time you compose a new message, you have to click the ‘attach a file’ link, then burrow down into your computer, pick one file, and click ‘select’. Uff! this is really a nasty situation if you have less time to spend waiting...this is annoying and inefficient.

Gmail recently enabled a feature for Mozilla and Chrome users. Instead of browsing your computer to find files to attach, you can now just drag and drop files into your Gmail messages.

First, make sure you are using Firefox or Chrome. This will not work in Internet Explorer, at least not yet.

Open the folder on your computer containing the file you want to attach. once you have that window open, click on the file and drag it into the space near where the attach file link is in Gmail.

Just drag in the file...


...and Firefox will upload it to GMail. I know there isn't much to show you, but this book review is uploading...

                                                    ...and when it's done, it looks like this.
If you are attaching several files from the same place, this can save you a great amount of time. Gmail, for all of its advances, does not allow you to select multiple files to attach at the same time with the CTRL or Shift buttons. So, dragging and dropping files is a nice, and quick, alternative.
