Gmail Attachments

---

There are some attachments, like zip files, that cant be downloaded trough gmail app. Why does google limit what kind of attachments a user can download using gmail app is beyond me, so Ive tried to install two apps Download all files and Download buddy, however none of them work.

There is a partial solution to before mentioned problem which includes using a browser to download the attachments, but this defeats the whole purpose of standalone gmail app.

How are you guys handling downloading the attachments that are not download supported in gmail app?

Noticed this too, haven't found a fix yet though

Ive switched from gmail to k-9 mail, which allows me to normally download attachments without "discrimination". One less google app on my phone

advise replacing the standard gmail

try web based gmail, however, its working with me.
