I'm frustrated that Gmail doesn't have an option for downloading all attachments from an email like Outlook does. With Outlook, when I received an email from someone who was sending me multiple documents at once, I could download all of them into the same folder all at the same time. With Gmail you have to do them all individually or download as a zip, which works but adds an extra step of unzipping. This extension works, sort of. It doesn't do exactly what Outlook does, but provides a faster work-around. This extension will automatically open a separate download window for each document, so you can browse and save. However, it opens the same file location for each document - so if you need to click to find your file, you will have to click for each document. The work-around for that is to download the first document individually and save to the file location you need. Then, click the this extension and that file location will automatically open for each one and you can quickly click "save" on each of the download windows that pop up. As I said, definitely not the same as Outlook, but I still find this faster than the built-in options that Gmail provides, especially if you have a bunch of attachments to download.
Exact same problem as stated above: The button appears and allows you to click on it, but nothing happens. Nothing is downloaded anywhere.
Uninstalled. Waste of time.
