Gmail Labs introduces Google Docs previews

Filed under: E-mail, Productivity, Web services, Google

Gmail Labs keeps getting better at integrating other Google products into Gmail The latest addition to Labs is Google Docs Previews, which recognizes Google Docs links in your email, and lets you view Docs inline, right from Gmail. To turn it on, go to Settings in Gmail, and then hit the Labs tab. Enable "Google Docs previews in mail."

If you're a hardcore Google Docs user, being able to preview documents from Gmail is a fantastic boon to your workflow. You can keep responding to mail without having to click through to Docs or open another tab. The only thing that would make it better would be a Quick Edit option, in case you need to make a couple of changes on the fly. Google Docs Preview is the latest in a line of other "preview" Labs for Gmail, including YouTube, Flickr, Yelp, and Picasa.
