Google has announced that it will be integrating Google Drive in to Gmail, so that users can send large files up to 10GB. A new button appears in the Gmail compose window to attach files from the Google Drive account, instead attaching the files directly to the message.Normally google drive users are using Dropbox, YousendIt to share huge files.
This is a really amazing feature for those who use Google Drive, but what happens if you share a file with someone who doesn’t have access to it? Google takes care of that too. Just like Gmail warns you about forgetting attachments if it recognizes that you meant to include one, if will also warn you about sending Google Drive files to users who can’t access them, and will prompt you to change the file’s sharing settings accordingly. This is also done without ever leaving Gmail.
