Attachments in gmail app on iPad

I've tried using the new app for gmail on my ipad - it has a white envelope edged in red: sorry, I don't even know how to describe it technically, but I think it's the Google app not the Apple app. Anyway, I hated it so ditched it and started using once again the Apple app for Google installed on the ipad (white envelope on blue cloud). The major disadvantage of the Apple app is that I cannot work out how to add an attachment. Am I missing something or can it just not be done?

1. Tie your gmail account to the mail app on the iPad
2. pull up the email in the apple mail app once you've connected the gmail account to the app
3. Tap the video to download the video
4. Once downloaded, press and hold your finger on the video for about two seconds
5. a list of options will open, click save to videos

How do I save video attachments in gmail app on ipad?

I am using the gmail app on my ipad and cannot figure out how to save a .mov video (or any other format for that matter) that is attached to a gmail email message.
When I tap and hold the video attachment icon I only get the option to save, add to reading list, and open in safari. There is no option to save it to camera roll or open it in another app (like icloud or dropbox etc.)
I want to add it to my camera roll.
I can save the video attachment easily on my ibook and my android phone using the gmail app for those devices but not on the ipad. Thanks.

HT4356 Why can I not print attachments from gmail on my ipad mini, it will print photos and anything from safari

Why can I not print attachments from gmail on my ipad mini, it will print photos or anything from safari?

For Gmail attachments, if they are PDF files (as well as many other formats) when you are viewing them on the iPad in Safari there is an option to "Open in iBooks" just below the tab you have open (at the top of the page).
From iBooks you can print them to a wireless printer easily.
Hope this helps.

How do I save attachments from gmail app?

Okay I am stumped! For the life of me, I can't figure out how to save attachments that come through my gmail app. Specifically 3gp videos and documents files. It was a while ago, but I think I was able to do pictures. This is happening on both the Eris and the Aria. Latest gmail app for Android 2.2 and higher.
Does anyone have any ideas?

Thank you! Thank you! I have the video I needed to download on my phone now!
Perfection!

Gmail app on iPad

I have the gmail app on my iPad and whenever I have a new message it automatically downloads whatever messages are there.
I want the app to only download messages when I have the app open.
I have tried to Change this function in settings but can't. Can this be changed so it only downloads messages when I open the app?

1. Tie your gmail account to the mail app on the iPad

Crazy amount of attachments in mail app on Ipad

Hi All,
I have been having a problem with thw size of my mailbox with the stock mail app on my Ipad. I curently have maybe ten (10) e-mails all with attachments in the mail app.... but the mail app is using 11gig of space? So tonight I added the attachments folder and its showing that I have some 4294967295 attachments! whilst this expalins the space taken up by the mail app. How is this possible & is there anyway I can rectify this?
The e-mail accouct is setup as POP setup to delete mail daily...
Cheers
Brendan

That's what I was thinking aswell, so I logged on to the e-mail acc via the web front and there's no way there's that many attachments/e-mails still there....
So as a test I have now deleted the e-mail acc from my ipad & the disk usage has only gone from 11.8gig to 7.8gig.
There are no other e-mail accounts on the Ipad now so i'm at a loss where this "data & attachments" disk usage is coming from?
Epesicailly since the same acc is only using 2.4 gig on my Iphone 5s (where i have aslo conatins a Gmail acc also present in the mail app)?
Its super wierd that disk usage can still be some 7 gig + when there is no e-mail account present?

It not open in from gmail app only from Safari. Why?

I have adobe reader on my iPad but can only open in from Safari. Can't open from gmail App neither from iPad mail. I tried everything!

Hi,
That is a limitation of the Gmail app on iPad, wherein it doesn't expose the Open In command. What you could do, though, is open the PDF in Safari (by clicking the little 'circle' button at the bottom right of the PDF view in Gmail), and then select Open.
Hope this helps.

Does the Gmail app in the iPAD use cookies to keep track of passwords?

Hi All
I get this, "does your browser clear cookies, if so you will need to provide a verification again next time" every time I use the Gmail app in my iPad.
I enter the code they send me and click on the "Trusted computer" check box. But I have to sign in with the code Google sends me via SMS or calls me with the numeric code each time now. I don't think there's a way to delete cookies in the iPAD is there? I looked at the mail settings and in Safari I keep the cookies. Even though the app shows in settings there's no extra user info I can enter there. Any help would be appreciated. Thanks
Gary

Does she have her own iCloud account? You can have more than one iCloud account installed on a device, and some users install a secondary iCloud account which is common to others in the family to allow "Find My iPhone" to be used from one account while keeping separate iCloud contacts, mail, etc.
But with iOS 7 although you can still have multiple iCloud accounts installed, only the "primary" iCloud account supports "Find my iPhone". So if her iCloud account is the primary, you can no longer track her from your iCloud account. Is that what happened in your case?

Gmail app issues on iPad 2

Hello All,
I have been using the stand-alone Gmail app on my iPad 2 for several months without any issues until recently. When I begin composing a new email, about 10 to 20 seconds into typing, an "X" appears over the horizontal lines (pull down folder list) at the top left of the screen. It essentially locks up and requires me to either save as a draft or discard the email. I have reinstalled the app a few times, but it doesn't help. Any ideas what is causing this and how to fix it? It does not happen on my iPhone using the same account.
Thanks much for any help in advance!

Try a reset: Simultaneously hold down the Home and On buttons until the device shuts down. Ignore the off slider if it appears. Once shut down is complete, if it doesn't restart on it own, turn the device back on using the On button. In some cases it also helps to double click the Home button and close all apps BEFORE doing the reset.
If that doesn't work, you may need to seek assistance from the app vendor.
For what it is worth, I tried the app some time back (a year or two?) and found it to be rather unreliable.

Did Apple take gmail off the ipad email app?

Did Apple remove gmail from the ipad email app? I get "the server imap.gmail.com is not responding".

No, that just means it can't connect to the Gmail server at the moment.

Please help. My gmail app on my iPad 2, has been frozen since a power outage that occurred last week.I am a verizon fios customer. I tried to correct this problem through settings without success. Thanks for any info you can share.

Try a Reset [Hold the Home button (bottom centre) and Sleep/Wake button (top edge, right) down together for 10 seconds or so (until the Apple logo appears) and then release. The screen will go blank and then power ON again in the normal way.] It is app and data safe!
