Things You Didn't Know You Can Do With Google Drive

Since its introduction, Google Drive has changed the way we work around in Gmail. It is not only time saving, but also lets us organize our emails in a far better way than we used to. If you are getting accustomed to using drive or are already pretty good using it, here are seven things you didn’t know you can do with Google Drive.

1.Offline Spreadsheets


If your work calls for making a lot of spreadsheets, than this feature can be nothing less than a blessing for you. Updated last year, the new Google Drive spreadsheets have new functions like Averageif (which gives you the average of specified cells), and unlimited cells, formulas and columns. The best new feature is that you can even create, edit or modify these spreadsheets without an internet connection. You can simply log in and make a spreadsheet and as soon as you get a connection, you can put it across.

2.Keyboard Shortcuts For The Entire Gmail

You might know about general keyboard shortcuts, but chances are that you might still be unaware of Gmail shortcuts. Well, to ease you out, here is how to get Gmail shortcuts – just press “Shift +?” and there you go, a window will appear displaying all the shortcuts that are enabled and disabled.

3.Customize Priority Settings: Control Who Sees What

Many people believe that Drive’s content is visible to all. That is true but you can very much control its visibility according to your priorities. You can limit your content’s visibility to the people whom you wish to see your content.

4.Surpass 25MB Attachment Limit

As you already know Gmail’s attachment size limit tops out at 25MB. But luckily we can use Google Drive to attach much bigger files. To do this, click on the small Drive icon while composing an email, and select your attachment. Also, when you receive a big attachment, you can save it straight to your Drive. There appears a save to drive option when you hover on the attachment.

Google rolled out an update to Gmail's iOS app Thursday that makes it easier for users to view and share documents and files between Drive and Gmail.

The update also brings new account management options for users who have multiple Gmail accounts. Those who have more than one account can choose which accounts appear within the app while remaining signed into the account elsewhere on their device.
Gmail's settings menu has also been tweaked so users can swap out their profile photo from within the app. The updated iOS app is available in the App Store. A similar update rolled out to Gmail's Android users earlier this month.
