Update : The Script has been updated recently. So there will some change in the setting up procedure. After setting up the script open the spreadsheet Copy of Send to Google Drive v4.0. Change the value of cell D4 to SendtoGoogleDrive and run the program again. Also you will find a folder named Gmail Files instead of Gmail Attachments in your Google Drive folder.
Step 1
- Setup " Send Gmail attachments to Google drive " script in your Gmail. You can see the setup instructions here .Thanks to Amit Agarwal for this beautiful script.

Step 2
- After Installing the script you will see " SendtoGoogleDrive " label in your label list (see screenshot below)
- Now go to search bar, type has:attachment and click search. Now you will see all the emails in your inbox which has attachments.

- Now the script will start sending all the attachments to your Google drive. Wait for sometime till the script finishes its job. ( Go to SendtoGoogleDrive label. if you find this folder empty, the script has finished its job. Now all the attachments has been moved to your Google drive account. )
- Goto your Google drive account. You will find all your attachments in a folder named GmailAttachments. Now select all the files. Click on more button and select Download. (See screenshot above) Confirm the download and all your attachments will be downloaded as zip file.
