New Features Added to Gmail and Google Drive

Check out the new features Google recently added to Gmail’s right-click menu and Google Drive’s new and improved Intelligent Search box.

Gmail – Right-click Menu Options

Google added more options to the right-click context menu in Gmail.

With these new options, you can take even more actions, directly from a message, in your inbox such as:

  • Reply to, or forward, an email in one click from the main page
  • Search for all emails from a sender
  • Search for all emails with the same subject (if conversation view is turned off)
  • Open multiple emails in multiple new windows at the same time
  • Easily add a label or move an email

Google Drive – Intelligent Search

Google made improvements to the Google Drive search box on desktop available to all G Suite Editions.

Now, when you click in the search box you’ll see a range of options, including:

  • Suggested search queries: Click on a term to search for it.
  • Your top collaborators: Click on a person to search for files that you’ve collaborated with them on.
  • File types, edit history, priority items, and more: Click to show files that match the highlighted criteria.

These filters will help you find and filter content more quickly and efficiently in Drive.

A feature I really miss from my previous job is the ability to write an email and then put a date and time on it to be sent at that future date/time automatically.

Right now, the only way to achieve this is to use an add-on called Boomerang. You can send up to 10 emails a month for free or you can pay for unlimited.
