How I can send an attachment by mail? I can only send the link (from google drive or dropbox); but not the files. Thanks.

Hi @DiegoMT 

Good question.

Which email app are you trying to use?

Attachment fields should support file urls (must be publicly accessible direct download links) or file objects (look for File (exists but not shown)).

Hi Troy. Thanks! We are using gmail. Yes link are publicly accessible. We have to attach every file in a folder, or certain objects. But is not working. We tried many different ways.
