Gmail drive 2013

A blast from the past!

In 2013, Google announced the integration of Google Drive with Gmail. This feature allowed users to attach files from their Google Drive account directly to their Gmail emails.

Here are some key features of the integration:

  1. Attach files from Drive: Users could attach files from their Google Drive account to their Gmail emails, making it easier to share files with others.
  2. File sharing: The integration allowed users to share files from their Drive account with others, even if they didn't have a Google account.
  3. Collaboration: Users could collaborate on files in real-time, making it easier to work on projects with others.
  4. File access: Users could access files from their Drive account directly from their Gmail inbox, without having to download or upload files.

The integration was a significant improvement over the traditional method of attaching files to emails, which often resulted in large file sizes and slow upload/download times.

The Google Drive-Gmail integration was a major step forward in cloud-based file sharing and collaboration, and it has continued to evolve and improve over the years.
