1) Drag and Drop Email Attachments : Yesterday, Google announced a new feature into a Gmail for Google Chrome and Firefox 3.6 users, i.e., drag-and-drop file attachments. It a very simple feature but surely very useful when you want to attach files in your E-mail. You just have to drag the files from desktop and drop that file onto your E-mail, a box will appears with heading “drops files here’ where you have to drop you file. Just drop the file and your files are attached now in the mail.

So, don’t you think that is a handy feature to have when you attach large numbers of files? There is one drawback that this feature is only available for Firefox 3.6 and Google Chrome users. But Google promised that they will enable this feature for other browsers as soon as they will support this feature.

2) Calendar Invitations to Gmail messages : Google also enabled a feature that increased the support between Gmail and Google Calendar. It will allow you to create Calendar events from with Gmail. And when you compose a E-mail, there’s an “Insert : Invitation link” which allows you to invite other people to check your event and for that you don’t have to check invitee’s availability by login into Google Calendar.

When you click it, a preview window of the invitation will appear in your E-mail message. When you send the E-mail, the event’s automatically added to your and invitee’s calender.

I think it’s an important and time-saving feature which  also tie together two popular services of Google, i.e., Gmail and Google Calendar.
