I receive a lot of email attachments (txt,doc,pdf,ppt,swf,zip,rar etc) into my gmail account but how to sort out files by file type?
Gmail do provide an option to do so but the hack is hidden. You can sort the file types by using the Gmail Search Mail. Follow simple steps to do so.
Step 1 : Type in Gmail Search Box “ has:attachment” (without quotes) following with your file format say pdf or ppt. If you are looking for ppt file, your search command will be.
has:attachment ppt
Step 2 : Hit enter.Your inbox will show the emails having ppt as an attachment.
So instead of spending hours to search for the file this simple trick can be useful to you.
