Does anybody experience the same issue as mine? I got some e-mails with attachments. However, I cannot open the attachment since there are no attachment links available. I can see the attachment and full message via GMail POP3 though. But the problem is POP3 doesn't work very well either since it seems to stop or disconnect e-mail client before finishing the download.

Updated: It seems that the problem has been fully fixed.

Me too! It seems like attached files were removed.

# re: GMail File Attachment Problem 1/10/2005 8:01 PM Chris
yep - me too. And the text in the email isn't exactly the same as that uploaded. some space characters are deleted in the display process.

# re: GMail File Attachment Problem 2/16/2005 3:25 AM Deniman
I have a similar problem I enable the POP3 into the setting but I can't see the email from Outlook since he reconize the password so I can only see it online what is the problem??

# Help! - GMail File Attachment Problem - Access File 4/18/2005 5:17 PM Silvy
My Gmail account cannot receive emails with the attachment of Access file. I'm aware that Gmail cannot receive .zip, .exe and .rar file. Why not Access(.mdb) either? Please help!

I am not able to use the "Attach File" feature in the compose Mail window. Infact my "Send" buttona and a couple of other buttons dont work.

# re: GMail File Attachment Problem 11/9/2005 9:13 PM PCO
I've notices Google mail searches through *.xls files and displays advertisments. Maybe they don't wan't an *.mdb due to it's huge record capacity, that would probably have an effect on their search software.

My Gmail account won't do anything when I click 'attach file.' I even created a new account and I even tried (both accounts) on a public computer, in case the proble was with my machine, but no luck so far -- I cannot attach and the attach button does not even work correctly.

# re: GMail File Attachment Problem 7/11/2007 10:31 PM Nitin Bhagat
When I want to attach a file in the email, I click on 'Attach a file' link.
This opens up the drop box with link 'Browse' .
However even after clicking on this link there is no action. I am not able to browse the PC and hence can not attach any file.
Please suggest me a way out.

# re: GMail File Attachment Problem 9/2/2007 3:55 PM Will
Same problem on Firefox, Internet Explorer and Opera so it's not a browser problem

# re: GMail File Attachment Problem 9/19/2007 12:27 PM Carlos
I got same problem, the moment I click on the attach button the browser closes -no error message, nothing - just closes!!!

I go through the steps of attaching a file and it looks as though it's there but it does not make it to the person I'm sending to. I've been trying to get my resume to Employers but they are not receiving. Please help

# re: GMail File Attachment Problem 1/8/2008 9:22 PM randy Nichols
Why can't I view photos and attachments? When I download th file, all I get is text. Anyone have any ideas?
Thanks

# re: GMail File Attachment Problem 1/27/2008 9:22 AM Sandeep Sangli
It is possible to send out zip files to gmail. One way of doing that is remove all special characters (ex: @) from the file name inside the .zip file. You may have to do a trial and error to see which character might be posing the problem. Gmail considers ceratin special characters as spam or whatever :)

Best of luck ....

# re: GMail File Attachment Problem 8/25/2008 7:40 PM Maxnohead
It has been well determined that lots of people have this problem but no solutions. There are suggestions of disable pop ups, or stop the virus blocker. None of these have worked. I have down loaded ie 7 and it made no change. I have updated windows but whenever I click on the button to make an attachement to my e-mail it brings up the last folder that was open, and immediately closes the entire browser. and folder. There has got to be an answer to this.

# re: GMail File Attachment Problem 8/29/2008 1:09 PM Luc Lambert
Since this morning, I can't send files in attachment. This is very frustrating. I tried to do all the steps (like I usually do). Everything seems fine until I press the "send" button. The file gets removed and the recipient doesn't receive anything. Is it a problem with the Google server? Thanks for keeping me posted.

Is there not even a hint or suggestion of resolving this problem? I can't send attachments and this has been the story for the last few months, although it works within other programmes but i prefer the gmail interface. But if it's never going to work it's a real pain.

Workaround:
Use Old version

# Solution - Worked for me! 3/5/2009 4:17 PM Tasios
Went to Gmail "Settings"

option "Attachments"

chose the "Basic Attachement features"

(i think it will work if only you change it from whatever it is now)

Save Changes


-DONE!!!

(really worked for me!)

# re: GMail File Attachment Problem 3/6/2009 7:08 AM peter
"chose the "Basic Attachement features"

And voilá, it works!!!! :-)

# re: GMail File Attachment Problem 3/8/2009 2:51 AM geebeebee
OK, guys, I found a solution for me -- don't know if this is the problem with everyone.

I could NOT attach a file when I clicked on an e-mail link, and it opened a new e-mail in a new tab on my browser for gmail.

HOWEVER, when I saved it as a draft, actually went to Gmail itself in another tab (the inbox area), opened up the draft, THEN I COULD attach.

If it's happening when you are clicking on an e-mail link, try saving as draft, going to gmail, and trying it again. It worked for me.

Good luck

Changing the attachment settings to "basic attachment features" solved my problem. I *think* (not 100% here, but *think*) that the root problem was that I don't have a new enough version of Flash, which the default "advanced" settings require.

I don't want to sound like a fool.

"Settings>Attachments>Basic Attachment features>Save Changes"

doesn't google tell you to do this? And isn't this just the old way of handling attachments?

Seems like a lot of fuss over a dud flash app. They provide the answer for something they knew didn't work properly.

Strange. Me thinks.

When attempting to attach a 300 KB photo (from my C: drive) to an email, the path displayed is not the actual path. The path display is consistently "C:/fakepath/filename.jpg". The "fakepath" filename is showing up with attempting to attach ANY type of file, and the file never actually attaches.
