Do you still email files and links to yourself?

Want to settle a debate: is this still a common thing to do? If not, how do you capture things to look at later?

Yes, I still do it hehe
More likely to slack them to myself; often wish WhatApp had a similar personal inbox.
@matt_harbord ah interesting, so DM'ing yourself in one specific workspace?
@johnny_makes well, in the relevant one if it's work / side project related. And in whatever one I'm using the most if it's unrelated / personal
@matt_harbord that's cool, so basically each is kind of a "note-to-self" within a "folder" which is the project itself
@johnny_makes yep, and crucially (for me) it has an easily scrollable /searchable history
Yes, especially important documents. WhatsApp or Slack is a fastest way to save something but when it comes to important files definitely email.
I do this sometimes if I am on my laptop and would send it to my mail to later view on phone. There might be other reasons people stills send email files and links to themselves.
Let's say those files are important and getting this later in another device woud require some flexbility. It still boils down to what purpose you want to use it for.
😂 is there a better way?
@johnny_makes looking forward to seeing it Johnny!
