Save Gmail attachments to Google Drive on Android

It is remarkably easy to save attachments to google drive.  However, you must be receiving the mail on a gmail account and you must have google drive installed on your tablet.

When you receive the email simply go down to the bottom of the email where the attachment will be identified. Click on the menu icon and choose “Save to Drive”.

This will move the image to the root (the bottom -or first ) folder on the drive.

If you then go to your google drive, you can then create folders and move files into those folders.

To create a folder simply press the + symbol and choose create folder.

Press and hold any file to perform any number of actions:

Send Send the file to someone
Move to… Move the file to a new or existing folder
Keep on device Make the file available offline on your device
Open with Open the file with a different Google or third-party app
Send link Send a link of the file to a different Google or third-party app
Download a copy Download a copy of the file to your device
Rename Rename the file
Print Print the file using Google Cloud Print
Remove Remove the file from your device

 

Remember that the documents held on your google drive are NOT on your tablet. 

You can download them to your tablet.  When they are downloaded they appear in your downloaded section on your device.
