One reason you may not be able to open an email attachment on your Android device is that it was sent in a format that the Android email app doesn’t support. To check if an email was sent in a format that the Android email app can open, go to the message and look for the “File Attachments” section. If the “File Attachments” section is empty, then the email was probably sent in a format that the Android email app can’t open.
There could be a number of reasons why you’re unable to open attachments in your Gmail. It’s possible that the attachment is corrupt, or that your computer isn’t compatible with the file format. If you’re using a desktop or laptop, make sure that you have the latest version of Adobe Acrobat Reader installed. If you’re still having trouble opening attachments, please reach out to Gmail support for assistance.
Gmail for Android does not support attachments that are larger than 10MB.
