Sort Gmail Messages By Size And Get Rid Of Data Hogs

Is your Gmail account nearly full? If it is you can either purchase more space or go through and individually delete every cat picture attachment. Alternatively, you can use a clever Google Docs trick shared by tech blog Digital Inspiration to sort your Gmail messages by size and quickly delete space-hogging junk.

We’ve covered web apps that do this before, but if you’re uncomfortable granting access to a third party, this method keeps everything within the Google ecosystem. It’s a pretty simple four-step process that first links Google Docs and your Gmail together. Once that’s granted, it then creates a spreadsheet of all your big messages. When it’s done you can sort by size and start cleaning out those data hogs with a couple of clicks, no third-party authorisation required. Hit up the Digital Inspiration for a sample spreadsheet and full guide to running through this for yourself.
