Search for Emails with Attachments

There are several ways to search for attachments in Gmail using Gmail advanced search operators:

• has:attachment – Filter emails to only those that have anything attached.
• has:attachment doc – Filter emails to only those that have .doc files attached.
• filename:.doc – This works almost exactly as the above one (but this one is the documented operator for searching attachment types).

Note: filename: already implies that there should be an attachment included, so you don’t need to use has:attachment together with it. Also, a dot is not required before the file extension: filename:.doc = filename:doc

• filename:google*.doc – Filter emails to only those that have doc files attached and these files have [google] in the beginning of the name (whereas filename:*google*.doc searches for messages that have documents attached with “google” mentioned somewhere in the middle of the file name).
• filename:.doc OR filename:.html – Filter emails to only those that have either .doc or .html files attached (or both).
• filename:.doc AND filename:.html – Filter emails to only those that have both .doc or .html files attached.
  find attachments in Gmail

You can search emails based on message size. Fat emails will usually have something attached. It can be images or documents. Earlier, you had to search in bytes which confused the basic user. Now, you can use any size and Gmail will go on the hunt. Use either “m” or “mb” to suggest the size.

Also, you can focus your search on old messages. Use the older_than search modifier. For example, older_than:1y will display any messages that are more than a year old.

The method also doesn’t stop you from using other search parameters that go into any advanced Gmail search trick. So, feel free to use wildcards or sender names to get the attachments you want.

Gmail also supports the “larger” and “smaller” parameters to help you find emails within a size range. For instance:

Substitute the numeral “5” and “10” with a number you want.

• larger:10mb
• smaller:5mb
• And, to find anything in between: larger:5mb smaller:10mb
