New in Gmail: Select multiple files and a progress bar

Gmail has been in a phase of dynamic improvement ever since Gmail Labs was introduced. Labs has given us so many amazing features like ability to access our emails offline, multiple inboxes,new themes,mouse gestures,creating a Google document,sending SMS’s via chat (US only) and many other features.

So whats new in Gmail currently is that you can now select multiple files to send at once. You can hold <ctrl> key to select individual files or you can press <Shift> to select multiple files in a folder, just like you would do normally.

And the part i liked the best,you finally get to see a progress bar! I dont know why such a basic functionality was missing from Gmail for so long.  I love my Gmail even more. (Even though there was a Gmail outage recently on 24 Feb which lasted for couple of hours and the Gmail web interface was broken. Though it dissappointed me a little but i was anyway able to access Gmail via IMAP. Also, the web interface was back online quicker,although in bursts,in Google chrome thanon other browsers <smells fishy,isnt?>)
