2. Select "See all settings" from the dropdown menu.
3. Go to the "Filters and Blocked Addresses" tab.
4. Click on "Create a new filter".
5. In the "From" field, enter a keyword or phrase that is commonly used in the subject lines of emails with heavy attachments (e.g., "large file", "big attachment", etc.).
6. Click on "Create filter".
7. In the "Apply the label" dropdown menu, select "New label" and enter a label name (e.g., "Heavy Attachments").
