Last month, Gmail rolled out the new compose interface. Today the Gmail team released a new feature to compliment this. If you’re using the new compose window, within the next few days, you should be able to see a new button that lets you quickly link to files stored in your Google Drive. The current limits are around 25MB, so this will allow you to send files up to 400 times the size! Your recipients will always have access to the latest file since this is stored in your Google Drive. The interface is smart enough to check for permissions…

Composing emails in a desktop client like Thunderbird or Postbox allows you switch back and forth between windows easily. Look up your other emails for reference or just let the Compose window sit in the background while you check new mail. By contrast most web-based clients don’t give you this flexibility and Gmail hopes to remedy that with the new compose feature. The new compose pops up in a window. It works the same way as chats allowing you to write multiple messages at once and minimise a message to finish it later or browse through your email which sits…
