You can also choose where to place them if you want to nest them in folders, although that\u2019s not required. This type of direct to Google Drive option is a huge improvement for people who use their Google Drive as their photo backup system.<br \/>\n<a href=\"https:\/\/blog.pixlr.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2015\/06\/tumblr_inline_mwvvnh0Kii1rmon24.png\"><img decoding=\"async\" class=\"alignnone size-full wp-image-650\" src=\"https:\/\/blog.pixlr.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2015\/06\/tumblr_inline_mwvvnh0Kii1rmon24.png\" alt=\"tumblr_inline_mwvvnh0Kii1rmon24\" width=\"500\" height=\"399\" \/><\/a><br \/>\n<strong>Open your images in Pixlr apps<\/strong><br \/>\nImage attachments will appear as thumbnails in Gmail. Clicking on them brings up a nice photo-browser mode, which has some important and helpful options. What we love about this photo browser is that if you\u2019ve installed a Pixlr Chrome app, you can now simply click on \u201cOpen with\u201d and you\u2019ll see your Pixlr Chrome apps listed right there. If you don\u2019t have any Chrome apps installed, Google will suggest one for you. There\u2019s a good chance that will be one of our apps. If you like the idea of having quick access to a photo editor directly from Gmail, this might be a great time to install one of these apps.<br \/>\n<a href=\"https:\/\/blog.pixlr.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2015\/06\/tumblr_inline_mwvvntgt951rmon24.png\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"alignnone size-full wp-image-649\" src=\"https:\/\/blog.pixlr.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2015\/06\/tumblr_inline_mwvvntgt951rmon24.png\" alt=\"tumblr_inline_mwvvntgt951rmon24\" width=\"500\" height=\"414\" \/><\/a><br \/>\n<strong>Save back to Google Drive<\/strong><br \/>\nEven better, when you use Pixlr Express to open up an image from Gmail, you can now save it right back to your Google Drive without having to navigate any confusing menus.
