Gmail issues

[Guest Aton]

Hi,

Gmail is my main email app on the pc. This is why I bought a pulse. I wanted to have unlimited access to my mails. So of course I thought that I could attach any kind of file to an email that I want to send. But the only files I can attach out of the gmail app are pictures. I can send other files, but only from the file itself by browsing it outside the gmail app. So when I want to send a buddy some more files (no pictures) I have to send many different emails, because I cant attach a file and then attach another file (again, no picture).

Now some more strange stuff. There is another email app on the pulse preinstalled. I set up my Hotmail account and tried to send an email from there. And guess what, I could attach any file I want just by browsing the filestructure from inside the email app.

That's very inconvenient. Is there another way to attach more files to a gmail email?

I think it's due to the weird design of gmail. Posssibly (I could be making this up) it says to android: "Open an app that will let the user select a file", and the only default one is the gallery. There is a similar problem for downloading files from the browser.

You may be able to fix it by installing a file manager (try a few) from the market.

I'll try this. But this should work out of the box. The pulse slowly is getting on my nerves. My old Windows Mobile Phone did this out of the box.
