Yahoo Mail Finally Integrates Google Drive and Dropbox
Good news for those who still use it, Yahoo Mail finally decided to make significant but long overdue improvements to its service. Although the company is currently being offered for sale, it didn't stop the Yahoo Mail app from adding important updates and integration, including attaching Google Drive and Dropbox files. Well, this move is perhaps intended to develop Yahoo's core components right before the company is eventually sold.
However, PC Mag reports that the new additions are actually exclusive for the Yahoo Mail app and not the traditional and browser-based Yahoo Mail. Aside from Dropbox and Google Drive, users can also attach GIFs from Tumblr.
This development is intended for those who are using the app on their iOS or Android device. But because this is already the second set of updates in over two months, there is a need for users to update their app if they haven't done so in the past two months.

Josh Jacobson, the direction for Product Management for Yahoo Inc., said that aside from the recent improvement where users can now manage several mailboxes using the Yahoo Mail app, the ability to access files from Google Drive, Dropbox, and GIFs from Tumblr makes it a lot easier and quicker to send photos and files.
Furthermore, it also means there no longer is a need to separately access both Google Drive and Dropbox just to download files and then attach them all over again using Yahoo's mail service. For iOS users, they now can preview their attachments, too, right before sending them. Android users on the other hand are now able to use widgets, plus they now can delete a draft once they cancel an email that has already been composed.
For these updates to work, iOS users must have a 4.3 version or newer, while Android devices must have the 5.4 or newer version.
