What happens next:

When you send an email with an attachment, Gmail will automatically upload the attachment to your Google Drive account and save it in the folder you specified in Step 2. The attachment will also be linked to the email, so you can access it from your Google Drive account.

Benefits:

  1. Centralized storage: All your attachments are stored in one place, making it easy to access and manage them.
  2. Collaboration: You can share files with others by sending them a link to the file in Google Drive.
  3. Offline access: You can access your attachments even when you're offline, as long as you have the file synced to your Google Drive account.
  4. Version history: Google Drive keeps a version history of your files, so you can revert to a previous version if needed.

That's it! With these simple steps, you'll be able to send attachments from Gmail and have them synced with your Google Drive account.
