One of the most common problems that many users have experienced in the past and even up to the present is the inability of the Gmail app to support different file formats and downloading attachments.

 Despite Gmail’s shortcomings, there is always a workaround, thanks to an application known as Gmail Attachment Download. Developed by Poofinc Studios, Gmail Attachment Download is an easy-to-use app that lets you download any attachment from Gmail and place it anywhere on your device.
