I just want to add that gmail has a very sneaky 'add to drive' button that is way too easy to click when working with email attachments.

How long til gmail attachments get uploaded into drive by default through some obscure update that toggles everything to 'yes'?

This already is the case for attachments that exceed 25 megabytes.

What difference does it make? They’re both on Google servers and even ACLed the same user account. Gmail isn’t exactly a privacy preserving email provider.
