How to save attachment from Gmail?

Question

I've got two MP3 files from my friend via Gmail. How can I save them to my phone? There is only a Preview button...

Answer 1

Sounds like you have a crippled version of the app.

I emailed myself an mp3 file and got "Download" and "Preview" buttons. Pressing "Download" downloaded the file (as one would expect) to /sdcard/download.

(This is an original DROID with Froyo.)

Answer 2

After I installed the ASTRO file manager and I went to "Preview" - ASTRO popped up, and saying, "give a filename" ok, then it saved the files!! (the files must be ex.: zipped!!) - and then I was able to extract the files in the zip.

Answer 3

You can't, at least not with any consistency, and it looks like you can't request the feature anywhere either. You'll need to use a different email client, or wait for the Google Apps team to implement this out of the blue.

Answer 4

I found a number of apps just for this purpose:

• Download All Files
• Save My Attach

All of these apps function by becoming options when you click on the Download or Preview button. These are just a couple that I tested out. Download All Files was my favorite. I'm sure there are other apps out there with similar functions.
