Unable to save attachments from GMAIL app...frustrated!!!

[decypher44]

I am able to save attachments (photos) from the stock email app. However, when trying to save photos from the gmail app, it won't work. When I tap on the photo attachment in the gmail app, it goes to a screen displaying the photo against black backdrop, and a blue bar continually scrolling beneath it. If I let it, it would go on for hours.

I've tried toggling different settings with the app, tried on WiFi and mobile data, crossing fingers, doing a ritualistic dance, etc. Nothing works!!!


Can anyone help me?????

. . . crossing fingers, doing a ritualistic dance, etc.

Clockwise, or counterclockwise??

Seriously, I can't help much, except to say that attachments behave for me in the Gmail app. The only setting I found pertaining is to Automatically download them, which I have UNchecked.

Tried unchecking that, and still have the problem. This is so annoying!

I've had that happen on a few pics in the past, on my S3. It's usually a corrupted attachment and has to do with the person uploading it. It's almost like a bad checksum. Ask the person who sent the pic to resend it.

File was fine. App wasn't working right. After GMail App update yesterday, it works ok. Thanks.
