You must have got an email message in your Inbox that includes multiple file attachments, now to download all the attachments to your hard disk in a single go in the form of a single zip archive all you have to do is read this article that will guide you through the steps as to how you can do this.
Such a feature is made available by all leading and popular email clients such as Gmail, Yahoo Mail, and Hotmail etc.
But in a case where you encounter multiple emails that contain multiple attachments of different types and the requirement is to download all of them to a folder, then how do we accomplish this?
- Go to drop.io and click the “Create a Drop” button. Drop.io is now a paid service but you can still create temporary accounts for free.
- Then you will be assigned a unique email address for your drop.io account. Copy this email address to your clipboard (it’s listed in the right sidebar).
- Go back to your email inbox and forward all the messages that you would like to download, to your new drop.io email address. Within seconds, drop.io will pull all the file attachments from your emails and will add them to the new “drop” that you created in Step 1.
- Now click Share –> Zip file to create a compressed zip file containing all the email attachments that you can save to your computer with a click. Once you are done with the download, go to Settings –> Maintenance –> Destroy Drop to delete all your files from drop.io permanently.
Drop.io is tremendously fast. To add on is that if there are any file attachments in the “drop” that you would not like to download locally, like a big video file or some PowerPoint slideshow, you can easily delete them from drop.io before creating the zip.
