Welcome toTNW Basics, a collection of tips, guides, and advice on how to easily get the most out of your gadgets, apps, and other stuff.

Chrome 90 has a cool trick that enables support for pasting files from your desktop right into web pages where they’re supported — like in Gmail.

That should shave off a few seconds’ work when sharing attachments in your email messages. Here’s how to enable the feature and use it:

Enable the ‘Clipboard filenames’ flag to allow copy-pasting of files into web pages

And that’s it. AsAndroid Police noted,Safari users already have access to a similar feature, and it’s hella handy, to the point where it makes you wonder why we didn’t have this in Chrome already.
