I receive mail every day with some attachments and I want to download those attachments automatically when they arrive to my mail box. Is that possible? and if yes, how?

2What email program do you use? Microsoft Outlook automatically does this. Thunderbird too.– LPChipMar 3, 2017 at 7:44

I use a couple of different IFTTT applets to save certain files to my Google Drive. Since I also use the Google Drive sync client, the files are automatically downloaded to my hard drive.– aleMar 3, 2017 at 19:04

I'm sorry, without knowing what mail client you use, we can't provide a useful answer. Could you please edit your question with all relevant details? Note that if you just use the web client, your question should go on Web Applications.– Ben NMar 6, 2017 at 19:54

You can use the Save Gmail addon for Google Sheets. It runs as a background trigger that connects to Gmail in the background and automatically downloads the email attachments to Google Drive.
You can install the Google Drive client on your Windows PC / Mac and the drive file will instantly become available on your local disk.

After testing, Amit's solution is limited with the free version and the upgrade is $29 per year. Jan 28, 2020 at 6:56
I wrote an app called Unattach, which allows you to easily download Gmail attachments in bulk, and optionally remove them. It currently doesn't have a mode to run at a regular interval, but that could be added quite easily if needed.
