Did you know that Gmail actually reminds you to attach files if you ever forget to?
Gmail, the popular email service by Google, has a helpful feature to prevent those dreaded moments when you forget to attach a file to your email. Gmail takes the stress out of sending emails by proactively reminding users to include attachments if their email body mentions the words “attached” or “attach.”
- You will receive a reminder if you type a certain phrase in the body of your email.
- Phrases include: I have attached, I’ve attached, I have included, I’ve included, See the attached, See the attachment, and Attached file.
If you attempt to send the email without actually attaching any files, Gmail will intervene with a friendly reminder. A notification will pop up, gently prompting you to double-check your email for the missing attachment before hitting that send button.
This is a game-changer for both personal and professional email users who frequently send files. No longer will you need to send follow-up emails apologizing for the missing attachment or causing delays in sharing important documents.
So, the next time you draft an email in Gmail with the word “attached” or “attach” in it, rest assured that Gmail has your back, ensuring you never forget to include the crucial file you intended to send. Gmail’s commitment to user-friendly innovations like this one reaffirms its position as a leading email platform that understands and caters to its users’ needs.
