How to save Gmail attachments on Android
Saving Gmail attachments to phones on Android used to be too complicated, but since a major update to the Android app launched last year, things have become a lot easier. You don't even need to actually be in an email thread that has an attachment to download to your phone!
Today's article will introduce you to a few methods to save Gmail attachments on Android.
The modern version of the Gmail app gives you direct access to email attachments from your email inbox.
Note : 'Conversation list density' will need to be set to Default or Comfortable to view attachments from the inbox. To change this, touch the hamburger menu icon in the top left corner of Gmail> Settings > General settings > Conversation list density , then change to related settings.

Now go back to your Gmail inbox. You can see the attachments right below the email preview.

Click the attachment to open it, then click the three-dot menu icon in the upper right corner and click Save (or Save to Drive ).

Additionally, you can download attachments from within individual email threads. Just navigate to the exact email containing the attachment you want, then click the Download icon next to the attachment.

Once you've downloaded the Gmail attachment to your phone, it will be in your Downloads folder (or anywhere you set it as your default download folder on your phone). You can access this app using the default file manager app on your phone (called Files on Android stock), then navigate to the Download folder in it.
