Where? I've read that a couple of places but I don't see it.

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.

Huh, when I click View the attachment opens in a new tab, but I don't see any of those options. Maybe it depends on doc type?
It's ridiculous that Gmail, running in Chrome, can't do this automatically. I mean, come on Google.
Or you could get a box.net account and email the attachment to a shared folder.
Well, I can download the PDF and then upload it to Drive (and then delete the extra copy from my Downloads folder), so it's not like I can't *get* documents from Gmail to Drive, it's just that there's a stupid extra step in the way.

It used to be that you could email docs to google docs. I miss that.

Weird. I sent myself a .pdf to try it out, and I'm using Firefox right now, but I know I've done the same thing using Chrome at work, probably with Excel files.

I just tried with a pdf, and I cannot save it to docs.
