Attach iCloud Documents to Gmail on iPad

In the gmail app in the iPad, it won’t allow me to attach files from iCloud Drive at this time. You can only add files from Google Drive or your Photos. I had to use a third part app (Spark) that will allow me to add files from any source.

How about using Gmail on the Mail app ?

Write the text.

Move the insertion point down two lines.

Tap the screen after the insertion point.

Tap Add Attachment.

Choose and add the attachment.

Move insertion point down two lines.

Repeat process.

Tap screen then tap Add Attachment.

Three attachments I just sent myself.

Same here. Absolutely unbelievable that something surely so simple to solve has been left hanging for 10 months already. Apple “support” - what an oxymoron.....

Unfortunately I don't have the Gmail app to be able to help you.

Why not use Gmail on the regular Mail app ?

Second thought.

What happens when you tap select in the Gmail app ? Does it expand to the selections shown above ?

I’m new to gmail, but have an iPad Pro and just downloaded the gmail app today. I am able to attach multiple files from my iCloud files by tapping “select”, then checking the files I want to attach, then tapping “share” and selecting gmail. Hope this helps.

That's correct, however that only really works for me email and thus doesn't work on a thread of email.
