Thanks to Google Drive, Gmail users can now attach and send files up to 10GB

Gmail users can now attach and send up to 10GB of files hosted on Google Drive directly from the Gmail client.

You’ve probably had those moments of frustration because an attachment was too large to send via email. Today Google announced that by using Google Drive, Gmail users can attach and send files as large as 10GB. Yes, 10GB.

Before, Gmail users were only able to send 25MB attachments, making it difficult to send large Powerpoint documents to colleagues and sending us over to services like Dropbox or Box. Now all you have to do is upload and host your documents and files onto Google Drive, and click on a new “Insert files using Google Drive” button that you’ll find on the bottom of your email compose page right next to the paperclip attachment icon.

Note that this feature will only be available in the new compose page, which is a feature that you have to opt into. Otherwise you’re going to be stuck with the 25MBs.

An additional feature that Google is adding into the mix is based off of its “forgotten attachment detector,” which will identify whether the recipients already have access to those files that are being sent. You’ve probably seen the “forgotten attachment detector” in action already when you’ve tried to hit “Send” despite having forgotten to attach a file. Luckily Google had your back and reminded you of the missing attachment. The update to the detector, according to Google Product Manager Phil Sharp, will prompt users with the option to change the file’s sharing settings. This includes Drive links pasted into emails.

Before this, it was possible to attach Google Drive files in the body of emails, but this would have had to been done through Google Drive and not Gmail. When you open up a file in Drive, there’s an option to attach the document through “File” and “Email as attachment.” The update really is about the convenience of a one-click button in Gmail.

Google’s strategy is one that we’ve seen already from Microsoft, which in the past has based SkyDrive features into Hotmail, and now Outlook. Since many companies and individuals are on Gmail already and the update will more tightly integrate Gmail and Drive, this move could spur sales of extra storage space. Right now Google offers just 5GB of free storage space on Drive, which is accessible through Gmail and it’s going to be far more convenient to clock a single button in the compose page to attach large files.

The feature will be rolling out “over the next few days.”

Move or Delete multiple files with Archive Manager

Move or Delete multiple files with Archive Manager | webOS Nation AndroidBlackBerryiPhone / iPadWindows PhonewebOS JOIN The #1 WEBOS COMMUNITY /   LOG IN     ArticlesForumsReviewsAccessory StoreTipsAppsThemesAbout   Move or Delete multiple files with Archive Manager 3 by Adam Marks Wed, 15 Aug 2012 7:08 pm EDT

While we have had file manager apps on webOS phones for a while since the release of the amazing Internalz / InternalzPro, one limitation of that app was that you could only act on one file at a time. If you wanted to move or delete multiple files, you had to go one-by-one. With the swipe-to-delete functionality of webOS, deleting a few files at one time wasn't a big deal, but anything more than a couple was quite a chore. The release of the TouchPad brought Gemini File Manager that allowed you to interact with multiple files, but you were still limited to one file at a time for webOS smartphones. Fortunately, Archive Manager by pcworldSoftware fills in this gap by allowing you to select multiple files and then choose which action you want to perform on those.  Unfortunately, since Archive Manager is a hybrid Mojo/PDK app, it will only run webOS phones running webOS 2.1 or higher, as well as the TouchPad.

To move or delete files or folders with Archive Manager:

Navigate to the desired directory within Archive ManagerScroll through the files or folders and tap the checkbox on the right-side of the screen to select the file. Note that you can power-swipe in Archive Manager to quickly scroll to the top or bottom of the listingWhen finished selecting, tap the  button on the bottom of the screen, select "action" in the pop-up and then choose Move or DeleteIf you are moving files/folders, you will be presented with another screen to select the folder to move the files/folders toIf you are deleting files/folders, you will need to confirm the delete on a pop-up menu on the bottom of the screen.

Archive Manager is available in the webOS App Catalog for $1.99 and is compatible with all webOS devices running webOS 2.1 or higher.

By the way, my next app (which I'm going to submit today) will also support copying of multiple files. Maybe that feature will also make it into Archive Manager with some update.
