This product was not featured by Product Hunt yet. It will not be visible on their landing page and won't be ranked (cannot win product of the day regardless of upvotes).
Turn Gmail attachments into a sortable file list without the need to learn search operators. Filter by type, sender, subject, date, or mailbox. You can download files and move unwanted source emails to Trash with selective Undo. Available for Chrome and Firefox. Free and open source, with no application backend.
I built Mail Attachment Lens after I started running close to Google’s free storage limit. Google’s storage manager showed that Gmail was the biggest chunk of my storage usage, but Gmail didn’t give me a convenient way to browse all my attachments as files. I wanted to see them in one place, filter and sort them, download anything worth keeping, and move emails I no longer needed to Trash. While testing it, I also found quite a few attachments I had completely forgotten about. The extension is available for Chrome and Firefox. It is free and open source, and there is no application backend. Gmail data is processed locally between the extension and Google. I would be interested to hear whether this solves a problem you have too, and what filters or attachment-management features are still missing.
