Gmail – Convenient way to download attachments from multiple emails in Gmail

gmailgmail-attachments

Is it possible to select multiple email messages, and then download the files in their attachments in one archive file?

The native way to click to open the emails one by one, and click to download their attachments individually is tedious.

Best Answer

Select all emails containing the attachments you wish to download.

Click the three dots at the top menu and go down to "Forward as attachment" then forward all emails to yourself.

You can then download all attachments from that one email to a folder on your hard drive. The attachments will be interspersed with the email files, but you can quickly delete the email files by sorting by type of file, highlighting and deleting. All attachments will be left in the folder and you can combine them into a PDF file or easily print them all using the program of your choosing.
