Gmail Update: Multi-Select and Progress Bars for Attachments

Today one more update has been made by Google in Gmail with its attachments. There are two new features introduced with Gmail attachments:

1. Multi-select files.
2. Progress or Status bar for the uploaded files.

Multi-select files:

This works when you want to attach few files from the same folder in Gmail. You can select multiple files at one go or else earlier we had to select one file each time. This can be done simply by holding the “Ctrl” key (Cmd in case of OS X) and click on each file you want to attach. You can also use the “Shift” key by holding it and select a continuous list of files.

Progress bar:

Before you never knew how long a file will take to upload, now it will also show you the status on the progress bars on each file as it uploads.

Note: At the time of selecting multiple files you should not exceed Gmail attachment limit which is 20MB.
