How the f#$% do you save a gmail attachment, such as a video, it shouldn't be this hard? It only gives a preview option, even after it grabs the attachment.

Open up your gmail in your web browser. The gmail that comes with the phone has this issue with saving attachments.

Hi folks,
For some reason I can only attach pictures to Gmail emails. This is really annoying as I'd like to attach a pdf which I downloaded using the browser but it doesn't seem to give me that option?! There is a "downloads" section when I browse for an attachment, but it only shows images I've downloaded.
Does anyone know how to fix this..?
Thanks,
James
Just tried in Astro - scroll to the actual PDF on your SDCard and press and hold - bottom option is send, choose this and it gives you Via Gmail or Via HTC mail options.
Not actually sent anything but that looks like it should work...

I can see why you think you have a problem if you create a email & try to send it the only files you can see are picture files but if you follow Daisy's advice & use a file manager to select the pdf (or any other file type for that matter) it will work for you.
Good afternoon, I also have a problem with attachments and GMail. But actually the opposite of the above. I would like to save some mail attachments to my phone, but somehow this feature is missing. And ideas?
i have another problem with the gmail app. when i get a mail with , lets say, a picture attached, i am not able to download and store that picture, just to watch it (even if i click on "download").. is there any other possibility within the gmail app to do so?
Is it only me or ...
With "Sync Google Photos" and Sync Picassa Web Albums" activated I still cant sync my camera pictures with google+....
And the only way to make it work is to install Google+ app but then you can see picture twice in Gallery ... (one under camera pictures and the other under Instant upload folder....)
Help would be really appreciated....
What I did so far :
reset phone settings,
wipe dalvik
tried to sync with another account
tried over wifi
Sync report ok.... I have no clue !!!!
Thats how mine is. I just delete the camera photos after they sync.
Google + just uses the instant upload to put them in your private web folder. Having the sync enabled allows the phone to download those photos from your web albums and allows you to manually upload when you want. I dont think its for auto uploading like google +

So basically you mean that there is no way to sync camera photos without using Google+ app ?
I thought I could with my previous Galaxy Note... I dont understand what the "Sync Google photo" is for then....

As far as I know, not automatically. You can always go to the gallery, hold the camera folder and sync the whole album manually to wherever you want.
the link is broken on the google support site, but it use to read this:
Android 4.0 devices have a system setting that allows you to Sync Google Photos.
This setting enables syncing of your Google Photos from your web albums to your device's Gallery app. As a result, if you have a large number of photos in your web albums that have been uploaded through Picasa Web Albums or Google+, you may notice a high amount of battery or data usage during this sync.
This setting also enables or disables sync for Instant Uploads to Google+. However, to enable Instant Upload, you must enable Sync Google Photos as well as enable Instant Upload within the Google+ app

I am having trouble with background data usage from the 'Gallery' app. I think it is related to videos uploading when I'm off of wifi. In settings / accounts / gmail - I had instant upload on, and then in G+ I had to sync photos and videos only when on wifi and only when charging, but it's still using network data to background sync... and I have droidwall installed and 'gallery' is not one of the apps I white listed for network data.
Any ideas? for now I turned off background data since it didn't seem to affect any regular use of the phone and it does block the gallery app. Seems like there are quite a few options in the gmail accounts as far as photos go so not sure what they all do or what I should bother with. I do know that on my SGS, SGS2 this background usage wasn't happening and I had things setup then like I do now.
I'm having a small issue with Facebook on Android. However, I think it's an issue with Android itself, not the app. When I get an email from Facebook, and I click the link, my browser opens and takes to the Facebook page and asks me to log in. Why doesn't it open the link using my Facebook app? It doesn't even ask me which app to use, browser or Facebook (eg. if I have two different gallery apps, and I want to view a picture, it asks me which gallery app to use, and lets me set one as default at the same time). Is there any way to make Facebook links open the Facebook app, instead of launching the browser (or to have it ask me like it does with other apps)? The whole point of the Facebook app is so I don't need to use the browser to view Facebook.
Any help would be appreciated. Thanks.

I'm looking for a solution for this too, it's really annoying! but I've had no luck so far....
Have a issue with Gmail...
Phone is a Motorola Photon Q LTE, stock Jelly Bean ROM.
I have a single Gmail account on the phone, and use the stock Gmail app to send/receive.
If someone sends me an email with multiple pictures attached with different file names, everything is fine. However, if I receive an email with multiple pictures attached that all have the same file name, for example "image.jpg", within the Gmail app even though it shows all the attachments present, with unique file sizes, it displays all pictures as the first picture. Also tried saving the pictures, which save as "image.jpg", then "image_1.jpg", "image_2.jpg", etc but then when viewing within the gallery they're all the same image.
This isn't a Gmail issue because if I check the message via web based Gmail, either on a computer, or through the web browser on the phone, I can view/save the pictures without issue. So it's definitely some bug in the Gmail app itself in how it handles unique files with the same name.
Not sure that it matters, but it always seems like it's someone from an iOS device, iPhone/iPad, that I receive these messages from where all the attached pics get named the same thing.
Anyone else experience this or know of a fix/work around?
I dont think this issue is custom rom specific hence why am posting this here.
I am trying to edit a contact photo from the address book, when I select a photo from my album I always get the message "unable to save photo edits", and the app just hangs until i close it.
How do I fix this problem?
The contact photos i have are already linked to my contacts on my GMail account, and sync across, but want to edit with higher quality images.
Maybe there is another way to do this am not sure?
My setup is on my sig below.
Thanks.
Ah, never mind found the fix for it
First open installed apps. Find the Google+ app. Next clear cache. Then uninistal updates. Next. Go to play store update Google+ again.
Now try and save a photo to a contact. The First time you will be asked which program to use for edits. Choose gallary. Not Google photos. And voilà. It now saves.
