Hello everyone.
today I wanted to send an email (gmail app) with PDF file attachment but I got a popup "can't attach empty file".
later I tried with JPG and MP3 and was no any problem.
I tried to attach several PDF's with different sizes and different locations and i got same popup.
Is anybody else encountered this problem or just me?
thanks

If file size is more then 25mb, you'd to upload it on google drive.

Just noticed this rather odd behaviour...
I've a Desire running Leedroid, and have set up Google Sync in Exchange.
The text contents of emails are received perfectly fine, but when I try to view attachments, that's when issues come in.
Originally I had Exchange set to download all attachments. While this would show every attachment as downloaded (and have the staple icon with the size), if I tried to open them, it would say "The file cannot be opened because it is corrupted."
I then changed it to never download attachments, and would fetch attachments manually. Now, if I did this, I could get the attachment, with the option to open directly or save to SD card. Either would be successful, and I could do either after the other IF I did not leave the email in question.
If I then pressed back and went back to the inbox list, then back into the email, trying to open the downloaded (and viewed! and saved!) attachment would result in the same error message as before.
What's going on?
Hi,
if anyone found please help its urgent
o.o
Dunno who that guy is, but yeah, still wanting to know if anyone knows why this is happening... closest thing I found was something that occurs on Droid phones, but the option that 'fixes' it (something about accepting all SSL certificates) doesn't appear on my phone.
I'm facing the same problem too. All my attachments are being automatically downloaded and saved. I am able to open the saved files but not the one's in the mail.
Anyone please help
I can't attach a video to my email using my gmail. After I type an email I click "attach" and it takes me to the Gallery but the videos don't show up. What's going on?
I've also tried attaching a video right after taking it but it says "file too large".
I can attach the same video using yahoo email.
Can anyone explain this to me? Thanks.
Wow, that is a weird one. Not sure if it's a gallery or a gmail bug, though. I'll confirm that videos in the camera folder in the gallery don't show when trying to attach from the gmail app, but videos I have in a synced Picasa album do.
I've just tested it a couple of different ways and both worked. Have you tried either of these?
1) Open the Gallery app, then tap the video you want to send, then select the Share button, then pick gmail. Gmail will open to a new email with the video attached.
2) Use a file explorer app (like Root Explorer) and do the same basic thing as in #1 - browse to, select and share to gmail.
I used test files up to 20mb in size. If you've tried one of these and it's telling you the file is too large, how large is the file? Have you validated that gmail allows attachments of that size?

According to Google Help for gmail, the maximum file attachment size you can send through gmail is 25mb. That's probably your issue.

You're right. So, is yahoo mail - file attachment limit is 25 MB.
I checked the size of the video I've been trying to attach - it is 6.17 MB. And I still can't attach this video when I select it from the gallery.
If I write an email first, and then select "attach" the video does not even show. Pictures do.
Anyone???

I did the first thing and I keep getting message " file too large" although it is only 6.17 MB.
How do you do the second thing - I would need step by step directions. But does it solve my problem?
Thanks!

How do you exactly do that? Thanks.
I'm having problems getting email attachments to load . They show as being there but never lisd.any help would be great. I'm new to Droid so thanks if anyone can help out.
Hello there.
I´m also having issues when downloading attachments on pop3 accounts using HTC Mail.
As you stated, the attachments seems to download, but when you try to open them, you get an error. If it´s a word or excel attachment, it would say "wrong format". If it´s a picture (jpg) it would just show as broken (black screen).
The crazy thing is that it seems random, as I have got some attachments to work, with jpg, and also some with pdf and .doc
Nevertheless, I installed another e-mail app, called enhaced email (it seems quite the same as htc mail), and downloading the same e-mails (that were still on the server) worked for downloading the attachments.
Maybe there´s some issue on HTC Mail application that needs to be shorted out.
by the way, I´m on custom firmware Revolution
I noticed that in Gallery there were a lot of strage images. Those images are saved attachments of an App, Touchdown by Nitrodesk.
I tried to copy a .nomedia file in the attachment directory of the app, but the Gallery program still scans and find pictures. It's annoying.
Anybody found this issue? Anybody is so kind to try to replicate this issue and reports?
Thanks!

Have you tried rebooting after putting the file in the directory?
That helped me.
Hey all,
I've encountered this problem with downloading attachments on my Transformer. My brother sent me some ebooks to read via kindle and when I go into my gmail, open up the email, and attempt to download the ebooks (.mobi format), it seems that there is no option to download. I also have set the option to auto download recent attachments through wifi, and still no go.
It just gives me the "Sorry, no application found to view this attachment." when I press Info. Now, I know I could just download them through my computer and connect my TF to get the ebooks, but I figured there must be some sort of solution to this annoyance.
Any ideas, guys?
Sorry if this should be in General, but I figured it should be here because it concerns the gmail app.
I'm having an altogether different problem with GMail attachments. For me they don't actually download. The download manager starts, but nothing happens. It seems to not have any download size information and pauses the download with no option to restart. I am getting the same problem in the Browser.
This problem existed before the 3.1 update and has persisted since. I have tried Clearing the app data. There's no way to uninstall and re-install either app. I am able to download in other apps (dropbox, etc..)I want to avoid a Factory Reset if possible.

I'm having that same exact issue with certain files attached in an email. Seems to be with certain files/formats, but why is it view instead of download... Think this happened when I tried uploading a rom to myself or a friend.
Try intalling Astro File Manager...
