Google announced on Tuesday on The Official Gmail Blog the introduction of a new feature in Gmail that allows users to save attachments on their desktop by just dragging and dropping them. Google previously introduced similar features to Gmail, which either allowed users to add images to an email or upload files as attachments by simply dragging and dropping them into a new message.
Now, whenever you receive an attachment on Gmail, you can hover your mouse over the “Download” link. This will prompt you to either “Click to view OR drag to your desktop to save.” From there, all you have to do is click and hold the file, drag it to the desktop, and drop it. The file will be automatically be saved.
NOTE: The new feature currently works with Google Chrome only.
