By default, Gmail doesn't allow dragging mails outside the opened window, so you'll not be able to download your mails or transfer them as attachment to another browser window or tab, unless you download them manually from mail menu.

Also, you can't drag an attachment from any opened mail and drop it into the compose window as attachment, the same when you need to transfer this attachment to another account opened in another browser window.

By using this extension, you'll be able to drag attachments directly to any opened compose window, you'll notice a download mail button which is draggable to your file system, or to compose window, or even to another browser tab, you'll get another button which will move the attachment section to top.

To make it easy for you to reply or forward mails, this extension adds action buttons and moves the inline compose view to top.
