If you see the “Downloading” sign as below it is only downloading to your Mail box



Until you open it and then tap share then save to files it will go nowhere else.

I checked all the folders I can access via the Files app and I'm afraid that none of them have this download in them.


It strikes me that I often get emails with images attached and when I 'download' them they don't seem to be stored anywhere either? I am wondering if the 'download' function in the Mail app is really doing what it says it's doing? Maybe it is just holding the files somewhere on a temporary basis until I've finished viewing them? Incidentally, all these files arrive attached to gmail messages, but I don't use a gmail app, I just have the gmail account linked to the Apple Mail app - is that relevant?
