Emails in Gmail

The free Save Emails and Attachments add-on for Gmail will export your attachments to
Google Drive. What makes it stand out is that it'll automatically run to scan for new
attachments, meaning you never have to worry about manually performing the process ever
again. It works equally well for a one-off export if that's all you need.

1. Head to the add-on page and click Install > Continue.

2. Select a Google account and click Allow > Done.
3. Go to Google Sheets and create a new spreadsheet.
4. Go to Add-ons > Save Emails and Attachments > Open Sidebar.
5. Set a Gmail Label for where it should perform the search, then specify other filters
like who the email was From or an After and Before date range (you need to set at
least one of these filters).
6. Click Download Settings, customize these as necessary, then click Select Folder to
choose a Drive folder where it should save the attachments.
7. When ready, click Save rule > Run. The add-on will also automatically run in the
background and update as new emails meet the rule conditions.

You can keep the attachments within Drive. Alternatively, open Drive, right-click the folder,
and click Download to save a local copy. You can then delete the folder from Drive to free up
your cloud storage space.
