I made this online tool as a weekend's project:

https://gindex.tirino.me/

It scans your mailbox headers and creates a directory-like tree to browse your attachments* through "folders" such as Date, Type, Sender or Size. So, for example, yo can easily browse all the MP3 files in your emails.

It also includes a search page where you can easily find a specific file filtering by all sorts of values (subject in the email, sender name, sender email, mime type, filename, etc).

I'll appreciate all sorts of feedback. Thanks.

* it doesn't actually link to attachments but to email threads in GMail. So when you click on a link it'll open the appropriate thread in Gmail and you can download the file from there.
