You will see an interface to choose the sources you want to select your attachment from. For this guide, we will be using Dropbox as an example.

Choose Dropbox and click on Connect to Dropbox.

The app will ask for your permission to connect Filepicker.io with your Dropbox account. You will only need to give permission once.

You will be taken back to your Gmail page and you’ll notice that now you can view all your Dropbox files. Choose which file you want to attach and click ‘Upload’.

The program first downloads the file…

… before uploading the file as your attachment.

Once the upload is complete, you can continue composing your email as normal.

To obtain files from the other cloud storage, just repeat the steps above and select the new cloud storage instead of Dropbox.
