Top Answerer

To prevent Gmail attachments from being saved to Google Drive, do not click the "Save to Drive" button when viewing attachments. If you use a tool or add-on that automatically saves attachments, disable it or adjust its settings.

You can save many Gmail messages at once using Google Takeout to export them as an MBOX file, downloading with email backup tools like Thunderbird, or forwarding them to another email. These options let you create backups or save emails for easy access.

Question

Can I create a desktop shortcut to send emails to Google Drive folders?

Snakey006550

Top Answerer

You can't create a direct desktop shortcut for this, but you can automate the process using tools like Zapier. You can set up a rule in Gmail to label specific emails, and Zapier can automatically save them to a Google Drive folder. Alternatively, you can manually create a link to the Google Drive folder and upload emails there as needed.
