Improve productivity by getting your Gmail attachments automatically organized
If you have a Gmail account and you are not using the attachments.me application then you are missing out on some cool things that you can do with your attachments to get more organised and improve productivity. Simply put, Attachments.me takes your Gmail account to the next level.
Let me start by explaining how I use attachments.me. As a tech geek I get close to a hundred emails on one of my gmail accounts everyday. Without the help of attachments.me it would be impossible to keep track of all the important attachments that constantly get delivered to my account. So when I heard about this great application called Attachments.me I immediately installed and configured it. Attachments.me has made a huge change to the way I deal with my emails.
When Attachments is configured properly it saves certain attachments in certain folders of your choice in your cloud storage service account such as Dropbox, Google Drive, Box or Skydrive. For example you could set it up in such a way that all attachments from your boss or other workmates would be saved in a folder called Work in your Dropbox account, all attachments from your friend joe@friend.jj would go to the folder Joe on SkyDrive or all attachments from your mother in-law would go to Trash in Box or something like that. I hope you get the idea.
What does Attachments.me do for you:
- Attachments.me indexes your emails and makes it much easier to search for attachments in your Gmail account.
- You can also use attachments.me to attach documents in your cloud storage accounts to your emails.
- You can reate rules to automatically save attachments to predefined folders
- If you combine attachments.me and Dispatch you can really do some amazing things to your productivity. Find out more about Dispatch and see how you can take advantage of the features of these two excellent applications. Follow this link to read my article about Dispatch.
How to use Attachments.me:
1. You can install the Chrome and Firefox extensions - when the extension is installed you will have the possibility to send received email attachments to a cloud service of your choice when you open a new email message that contains attachments. The extension will also add a new feature that enables you to attach files from Dropbox, Box, Google Drive or SkyDrive.
2. You can install the iOS application
3. You can use the Attachments.me website
Attachments.me and Dispatch is a combination I recommend to anyone who would like to take their Gmail account and productivity to the next level. My Linux server administration background taught me that automation can save lots of time and improve productivity. I use the same principle everywhere. Repetetive tasks like saving email attachments are good candidates for automation.

Are you one of those people who does a lot of stuff on the go? Like sending emails, posting on Twitter or Facebook, writing blog posts or simply capturing ideas as quickly as they appear. If that's you, then let me introduce you to an amazing application that will make your life easier.
We have all heard about the Dropbox, Google Drive, Skydrive and other cloud storage services. But not many have heard about Dispatch. Dispatch is a web service that enables real collaboration when working on a group project. I know it is possible to share files or folders using a service like Dropbox, but Dispatch adds a whole new dimension to the art of collaboration.
The feature list:
As I mentioned in my post about Wunderlist, I have been using this application for quite some time and it has become a must-have tool for me for creating task lists. The only two problems I had with Wunderlist was the fact that it lacked the sub-task and recurring tasks features. I used to recommend using Google Calendar to those who absolutely required these two features.
Today I spent quite some time looking at my reflection in the mirror. I rarely do that although sometimes I am tempted to, especially when I hear ladies saying I look good. Mind you, it doesn't happen that often though.
As I wrote in my article about Evernote, I believe that capturing ideas as they appear is a fundamental requirement for anyone who wants to be a reputable writer regardless of profession. I have to admit I haven't written much myself, but I have learnt one or two important things over the past few months.If you have a Gmail account and you are not using the attachments.me application then you are missing out on some cool things that you can do with your attachments to get more organised and improve productivity.
As I was on my way to a business meeting today, it just came to my mind how things have changed these days. When I was a student there were around 5 people who had computers in our 10-storey hostel. Now, in that same hostel you find a minimum of 2 computers per room.
