Now, Drag and Drop to Attach Files in Gmail

Google has added new file drag and drop feature support in Gmail to add attachments besides the multi-attachment feature included in February last year. Currently, this feature works only in latest builds of Firefox 3.6 and Google Chrome. To be honest, this attachment feature should've been included long back.

Locating files for attachment can be pain at times and hence most people prefer to save files on the desktop. Imagine the pain to click on Attach Files and then literally hunt down the files from some remote folder.

With the new Drag and Drop feature, in Google Chrome and Mozilla Firefox web browsers, you can attach as many files (under 20MB total). Just select files from anywhere on your PC or Mac, drag them to the Gmail's 'Attach Files' area and drop them. You'll notice the progress bar showing the attachment status of those files.

This new attachment adding feature will surely make your life easy but still you've to ensure that you select the correct files. Google promised to bring this support for other browsers soon.
