New Gmail Features – Multiple Attachment Selection & File Upload Progress Bars

Finally!  Gmail has introduced two features that I’ve dropped in their suggestion box several times already.  This makes attaching files much more intuitive.

First, you can now select multiple files in the same dialog box box by holding down the Control key while clicking on the files you want to attach.

GMail Multi Select

This saves a few clicks and is definitely a useful improvement.

A much better change is that now you’ll get a progress bar, telling you how much of the files you’ve selected have been uploaded.

This is definitely an improvement over the old method, where one had no idea if the image had been uploaded, or if the upload had timed out.

 

I’m now waiting for the next of my suggestions to appear in Gmail … inserting a Google Docs document directly into Gmail and avoid the hassle of uploading anything in the first place!
