PDF's Save To Files

A Simple question, why there is no option "save to files (local ipad)" whenever I open the pdf files in imail app/gmail app/gdrive app, then choose share/save a copy.

My ipad is gen2 11icnh 2020, the option available on my friend ipad gen4 12,9inch 2020


I have stressed with this problem, thanks

iPad Pro, iPadOS 14

Problem solved, the preview on gmail or gdrive app doesnt mean it has downloaded, to download/save to files (local ipad) it depends on file size, The pdfs attached that have small size there is an option "save to files" in share button.

For the pdfs have a big size and uploaded as a google drive , the gmail preview not available to "save to files" in share button, it should be open in gdrive app then chosen "send to copy" to download/save to local ipad.
