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.
Jayne (Husband): Oh, I think you might wanna reconsider that last part. See, I married me a powerful ugly creature. Mal (Wife): How can you say that? How can you shame me in front of new people? Jayne (Husband): If I could make you purtier, I would. Mal (Wife): You are not the man I met a year ago.

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.

OK, I just opened Chrome to try it there, and I don't get any buttons when I view. Huh.
Eta: but I can add a .pdf to Drive using Firefox no problem.

Ann, that's a ferret.
Yahoo is buying Tumblr, so I'm not sure the comparision with Geocities works.

Remember that the frontier of the Rebellion is everywhere. And even the smallest act of insurrection pushes our lines forward.

I should probably call my friend who was just hired by Tumblr and warn her that the end is nigh...
