Personally, I find inbox intimidating and confusing. When I set a reminder it is disappearing from the inbox! Also, downloading files from inbox is a real pain. Honestly, there is lot more room for someone to give a elegant solution to organising emails.

I've been a full-time Inbox user since I got access and really like it. All of your reminders are viewable in https://inbox.google.com/snoozed

Occasionally I'll set two reminders because I forgot I already set one, but overall I'm doing more and replying to things at the right time without much effort, so it's been a successful switch for me.

I use inbox only in mobile. Regarding reminders, technically I'm not snoozing that email. I would like that email to show up with the reminder time.

Still, it is tricky for such an app to get stickiness from all kind of users.

In mobile, hit the hamburger menu in the upper left. Snoozed is the second item from the top, right below Inbox. But yes, it's a little surprising that you can't put a date on something without hiding it from the Inbox, now that I've tried it. I think it's the right choice, but I see what you're saying.

The only reason I ever use the Gmail app is to download files on Android because Inbox refuses for some files such as .gpx files.

GMail also lets you download all attachments as a zip instead of downloading them one by one. That's the only reason I hop over to GMail.

Great to hear Palerdot. I agree with a lot of your point and for me, so many people like to use their emails/inbox in different ways so Drag is trying to provide the simplest way to do that, just with a slightly different layout.
