Gmail attachment button not working

Gmail main screen and its parts

One of the most common problems is that the Gmail application on Android does not work directly. Surely many of you have had this happen to you at some point. It is rare that the app crashes, although a few weeks ago was just what happened, but if the app does not work, we can try this:I do not receive mails to the account.

Another problem that many users face when using Gmail on Android is that they do not receive notifications when an email is sent to them.

In the case that we receive an attachment in Gmail that has been blocked for download, the service will show us a message indicating that the file is potentially dangerous and the download of the file is disabled. This will prevent us from downloading the attachment in Gmail, however, it may be that despite being potentially dangerous, it comes from one of our trusted contacts and we want to proceed to download it in any case.

It seems absurd and obvious, but if Gmail considers an email to be dangerous or inappropriate, it will automatically send it to spam. Keep in mind that it is common for all kinds of messages to arrive here and not only those that are really spam. There may be purchase confirmations, invoice notifications... Or even messages that you have previously unintentionally marked as spam to the recipient. That is why you should check this folder regularly. At least once a week or every two weeks. Keep in mind that messages that have been in spam for more than 30 days are automatically deleted, so you may miss something important if you do not check the folder regularly.
