Following a software update to the latest OS X 10.11.6, attachments to gmail have refused to download. I struggled with this until I stumbled across the fact that they open using Gmail.docs. When they then download I may or may not be able to open and manipulate them.
What is going on? Is this some change in gmail or a change in OS X 10.11.6? As a side note I find this process to be very bothersome and even crude compared to simply downloading the attachment into the Download directory and using whatever application I need form those installed on my own computer. My machine is a MacBook Pro, early 2011, with 8 meg of RAM. The processor is 2.2 GHz with the Intel i7 Core.
