Attaching big files to Gmail just got a whole lot easier with a new Google Drive feature that integrates right into Gmail. If you’re already using Google Drive, and you probably are now that  Google Docs has become Google Drive , you will now be able to attach files stored on your Google Drive to any email with just one click and without leaving Gmail. Since you can upload files as big as 10GB to Google Drive, this also means you can now attach very big files to your emails, without the old limitations on file size. And since you’re sending your recipients to the actual file which is stored in the cloud, they will have continued access to the most up-to-date version of it, without you needing to send it again and again. This is a really convenient feature for those who use Google Drive, but what happens if you share a file with someone who doesn’t have access to it? Google takes care of that too. Just like Gmail warns you about forgetting attachments if it recognizes that...

Have you been collecting awesome notes and information in Evernote for a while, but not really experimented with the many Android apps and widgets you can use yet? Well, if this sounds like you then you’ll love today’s line-up of apps. We know there’s a good number of Evernote fans and Android fans lurking on MakeUseOf, so we thought we’d make a list of apps and widgets fans of both would appreciate. So here’s the best Evernote apps and widgets for Android! The Official Evernote App Of course, the  Evernote App  should be the very first app you add. Everything you can do with other apps can be done via this app, as well as allowing you access to everything you’ve already added to Evernote. The Official Evernote Widget If you have the official Evernote app installed, the  Evernote Widget app  is the perfect accessory. The widget gives you easy access to all the most popular Evernote functions. There are two widgets you can use: the smaller one lets you...

Did you know AmazonGlobal Free Super Saver International Shipping Program promises free shipping to India if you buy eligible products worth $125 or more! I have lots of books in my Amazon Wishlist, but the  International Shipping Cost  is very high as Amazon will charge $4.99 per item and $4.99 per shipment. Also there are a limited list of items likes books, CDs, DVDs, Kindle  etc. which they will ship internationally.  So even if you decide to combine items in a single consignment, the cost for 5 books of any cost price will still come to nearly $30. In fact your purchased books might cost less than the international shipping costs. Though I have bought hard to find books many times from Amazon, the high shipping costs were discouraging. In fact, when I bought  Kindle in India , they will also add import duties (but at least you can get Kindle in India – though Kindle is now  available at Croma , Amazon will still not ship  Kindle Pape...

This has happened to you: you’re reading your email, then you realize you should write someone else about something you just read. You hit “Compose”, only to find that the information you wanted to reference is now off-screen. You could save the draft and re-search for the email. You could open a new tab, re-open your email and then find it. Or you could remember to copy relevant information before composing the new message. None of those strategies are necessary, however, because of Gmail’s new compose mode . It’s simple, it’s clean, and it’s a great sign that Google isn’t done improving Gmail yet. Back in July Google acquired Sparrow, a brilliant email client for Mac and iOS users . Their team joined the Gmail team, and if this is a sign of things to come from that I have to say: everyone wins. No More Multiple Tabs Previously, when you hit the “Compose” button, whatever you were looking at was replaced with your new message. The new compose mode, which you ca...

Thanks to a recent Gmail search update, it is now easier than ever before to search for messages by size and date. For example, you can now search for larger:5m to yield all messages that have attachments larger than 5MB. Better yet, you can combine this with the older_than operator and search for size:5m older_than:1y , thus yielding a list of all messages older than a year and larger than 5MB. Gmail’s free space quota has always been generous, and currently stands at over 10GB (and famously, it is constantly growing, as you can see on the Gmail.com page when you’re not signed in to any account). Still, if you’ve been using a free Gmail account for years, you may have ancient photos, videos, and other large attachments clogging up your inbox and taking up precious space. Thanks to these new operators, you can now download these attachments and delete the messages that contained them, freeing up valuable space. For a full list of Gmail’s search operators, you ca...

Google has just announced no less than three new devices, along with what they call a “new flavor” of Jellybean – Android 4.2. The new devices are Nexus 4, the newest of the Nexus smartphone line; a new Nexus 7, and the Nexus 10, with a resolution that beats even the new iPad. All these new devices come with Android 4.2, which is packed with new features despite not getting its own candy codename. Starting with Android 4.2, this new version of the OS brings multiple users for tablets, which can be switched through the lock screen. It also introduces Photo Sphere , which lets you capture images in 360 degrees. Another new feature which was a long time coming is built-in Gesture Typing, which means you now get a sliding keyboard similar to Swype built into Android. You can read more about all these new features and others here . The new Nexus 4 ($299-$349) is an LG smartphone with a big 4.7″ screen, a very high resolution, a quad-core processor, and wireless ch...
