Gmail – How to Attach Multiple Files to an Email from Google Docs

gmailgoogle-drive

I want to email two files as attachments to a single email in Gmail without downloading them from Google Docs. When viewing all items in Docs, the "Email as attachment" item is disabled in the Share dropdown menu.

First off…why? Second, is there any way around this?

"Keep in mind that it's not possible to email multiple docs as attachments."

Looks like your only option is to download multiple docs (More Actions > Export > Download) and attach the resulting zip to an email ... or to go through the "Email as attachment" process multiple times.
