Читать книгу G Suite For Dummies - Paul McFedries, Paul McFedries - Страница 35

If you receive a message that has one or more files tied to it, when you open that message (either directly or in the reading pane), you see a thumbnail version of each attached file. Gmail gives you quite a few ways to handle any attachments in the current message:

 View the file. If you just want to see what's in the file, you can open the file for viewing by clicking the file thumbnail. Gmail opens the file and displays a toolbar similar to the one shown in Figure 2-12. With this toolbar, you can open the file in a compatible G Suite app (such as Sheets), add the file to My Drive, print the file, or download the file.

 Download the file. Hover the mouse pointer over the file thumbnail and then click Download. (See Figure 2-13.) Alternatively, click the thumbnail to open the file for viewing and then click Download. (Refer to Figure 2-12.) Although Gmail makes it easy to deal with attachments, you should never just blithely open an attached file that you've downloaded, because you might end up infecting your computer with a virus or another type of malware. Be sure to use your security software (such as Windows Defender) to scan the file for malware before opening it.

 Save the file to your Google Drive. Hover the mouse pointer over the file thumbnail and then click Add to Drive. (Refer to Figure 2-13). Alternatively, click the thumbnail to open the file for viewing and then click Add to My Drive. (Refer to Figure 2-12.).

 Open the file for editing. Hover the mouse pointer over the file thumbnail and then click Edit with App (refer to Figure 2-13), where App is a compatible G Suite app. Alternatively, click the thumbnail to open the file for viewing and then click Open with App. (Refer to Figure 2-12.)
