How to Save an Email to Google Drive

With the nature of my work, I usually have most conversations and important information on my email. Sometimes I would like to go through a particular email over again but finding it in my email inbox takes time. As Gmail does not provide one primary location or folder for storing specific files. 

However, Google Drive has made everything and more possible. You can easily find and access the files stored on Google Drive without the hassle of going through the files one by one.

Moreover, you can save all or some of your important email attachments for easy access. Simply create a new folder for your email attachment or better still add them to your google drive shortcuts and save yourself the stress of scrolling up and down looking for one file. 

It is quite easy and simple to save your email to this cloud storage. But if you are finding it difficult you can follow the following simple instructions using your mobile devices.
