Gmail lets you easily store photo attachments in Google Photos

The next time you open an email in Gmail with an image attached, you may come across a new option that lets you save the attachment directly to Google Photos. The feature is rolling out to all Gmail users from now on.

Save photos from Gmail directly to Google Photos

You can now expect a button in a Gmail message that lets you save a photo attachment in an email directly to Google Photos. The button will be named ‘Save to Photos’ and will be placed next to the ‘Download’ and ‘Add to Drive’ buttons. When you preview the file, these buttons will appear. The feature is currently only available for JPEG files.

The ‘Save to Photos’ feature is now rolling out to all Gmail users, including those with a personal account. It’s a gradual rollout that will take 15 days, so it may take a while to see the feature.

If you already have access to the feature, you have a few more days to store as many files in Google Photos as you want before the service stops offering unlimited storage for free. You can already go here to free up valuable storage space in Photos and you can read here exactly what will happen after June 1.
