Damn it! You know what? I'm sick of this crap. I'm sick of being the guy who eats insects and gets the funny syphilis. As of this moment, it's over. I'm finished being everybody's butt monkey!

I downloaded a music video from Youtube for Dylan to put on his iPod, and the damn thing will not sync. Granted, this was not strictly a legal download, but I've done it before without any problems - any ideas?

The "Create iPod version" option is nowhere in sight, but I'm not sure if that's iTunes 11 or if it means this is already compatible. It's a regular H.264 mp4 file, exactly like every other video on this device.

Got it, ARGH. Stupid device.

Well not canonically, no, but this is transformative fiction.

Am I misremembering, or did Gmail used to have a "Save to Docs" option for attachments? It seems supremely stupid that I have to download this PDF and re-upload it in order to get it from Gmail to Drive. (There is a Chrome extension for this, but the current release notes say Google disabled it. WTF?)

If you "View" the attachment you get a button to "Add to Drive"

Jessica,

you could use attachments.me extension. I used it, but have used it more sporadically since they are now charging for the service (not a complaint, just a fact on my part).

Or you could get a box.net account and email the attachment to a shared folder.

When I click on view, a new tab opens up showing the document. In the upper right corner are three buttons "Add to Drive", "Download original", and "Share".

Also, if I click on "File" in the upper left I get a menu that includes Add to Drive.
