I bought a license for TitaniumBackup Pro and they emailed me a zip file containing the license. I'm now using a GN and I can't download the zip file because its a potentially dangerous file type.
Without access to a PC, how do I get thiis license?
What email are you using? Email app, gmail app.. webmail?
My CM7 gmail won't let me download attached zip files so i use the Browser, Mobile Gmail page instead.
Gmail and built-in email app.
Will try the browaer method!
Look on the market for an app called Save My Attach. It should let you save any attachment regardless of file type. There's also another app i use called Attach My Files or it may just be called Attachments. That app lets me attach anything i want in Gmail. Make sure the TB license TXT file is in the root of your sdcard when you run TB for the first time so it applies the license. Good luck.
Save my Attach. Great tip, thanks!
Well save my attach would be great if it worked. I just sent myself a zip file and got the same error LOL. I think i like the 2.3.x version better.

Hi! Have a problem when trying to open files from gmail.
When try to open a mp3 for example, it does the download, and then shows "This file cannot be opened with System Player".
If i try a second time, the message is the same but it doesnt takes any time, i suppose the file is somewhere in sd or internal.. but i cannot find it.
I use ginger villain 2.2
Thanks!
Not sure if this will help but there's an app called Gsaver (there are other's as well). When you hit "Preview" it will ask you what to open it with, choose Gsaver and it will ask where to download the file. I'm not sure if it's been fixed in the newest Gmail release but it doesn't allow you to save attachment files.
i had similar problem,all i did was delete the Gmail app and download the latest from the market...hope it helps

Ok, i installed save my attach, and then when i try it asks me:
"complete action with:
save my Attach
RockPlayer"
I see the problem was it was trying to open with rockplayer... why is not the "standard" player from android?
No idea?
Thanks!
would it be possible now with mango for someone to make a app called Zip Manager or something that lets u d/l Zip and/or Rar files to that app and the zip files are only accessible within that app to open documents and other files contained in them and manage them in that app?
same with mp3 or other files be able to manage them in that app only?
the Free Music app made me think of that... we cant d/l mp3s through the browser and add to the device library but we can manage the mp3s we download through that app and with the paid version we can sync the files over
could something similiar to this be made to manage zip and rar files????
Due to the sandbox nature of WP7, you can't access the local file system. Also I don't think 1 app can open another app. So for example, you couldn't unzip a PDF and then call Adobe Reader to view it.
One way around this would be for your zip / rar app to download the file, un-compress and then upload it to a folder on skydrive. Then it would be there ready to open and use. I'm pretty sure I read that WP7 can already open zip files, so maybe you can already do this through the browser? What are you trying to download exactly??
an other good idea is too contact htc samsung lg or dell to make a app for bluetooth in and outbox and zip app all in one

not really trying to do anything in particular I just kno on my tp2 I use to dl music in rar files all the time and documents thru zip folders.
I've received a couple of emails from a friend that has a .zip file attached. However, when viewing the email, the .zip file has "info" next to it......when I tap that, it says "Unfortunately, you can't save or open this type of attachment." I've have AndroZip app installed.....so what else do I need to do to be able to download this file type? Other files, such as pdf's and doc's give me the option to save, preview, view.
From the Play Store download
Download all files app by MDJ Software.
Already have that installed.

Dang, I have always used that app for that but you're right, I just tried it and got the same thing as you.
I bet gmail does that because it thinks all zip files are malicious.
There are a few different apps on the market (Play Store) for doing this but I can't find one that has been updated to work with ICS.
Google really needs to build this into the Gmail.apk
Boat Browser or any Browser that you can change your UA to desktop, then go to gmail.com

What I recently discovered is, that if you forward your mail with the .zip attachement to yourself, or anybody else, the download button appears ...
Really stupid way, but that could be a solution for you? :good:
i cant download zip file from my gmail
I have installed Dropbox app on my phone. Every time I want to read the file, I notice it downloads on my phone and then opened it with the office app. It is too slow in certain occasion. With no internet connection area, it does not work at all. How can I download the files in my phone so I can open them immediately from the phone rather than downloading files on demand. Thanks!
Open a file then click to export it to your sd card. You can also click the down arrow beside the file name and click share. Share to sd card is an option.

Thanks for your advice.
I think this is what you need: https://www.dropbox.com/help/87/en
Had the same problem, found a useful little free app called dropsync on the play store which did the trick.
It keys tot sync files/folders from Dropbox to your device so you don't have to download the files every time, plus it keeps the directories synced (or not, if you should so choose)
Sent from my GT-N7100 using xda app-developers app
Usually. .if you download a file from Dropbox once. It is already on your phone in internal sd/ Android/data/.com.dropbox.xxx/ cache/scratch/files/
You can check it out. .
Once downloaded. .it doesn't download again. .checks cache and sees if it is there. .and opens from cache
scribbled from my note 2 (N7100)
I personally use Solid Explorer (similar to windows explorer) to get into my Dropbox and just copy the file to a folder I want. Then I just open it with an app of my choice.
Hi,
When I use the default AFTV stick Downloader app, all apk files I download are saved as zip files which can't be opened by the app. When I download the same file with Es Explorer, the files are stored as apk.
Any idea how to tell the downloader app to store files with their original extension rather than zip?

Answering my own question. It seems there is an issue when you want to use this app to install apk files:
http://www.aftvnews.com/tag/downloader
Here it says:
"""
The current 1.1.3 version of my*Downloader*app in the Amazon appstore is not compatible with the new*Amazon Fire TV 3. When you try to install an APK file within Downloader, the APK does not install and a message saying “No app found to handle this file” appears.
"""
The blog also says that an updated version of the app is supposed to fix this issue, but apparently it's still not properly working with version 1.1.7 I'm using.

Those previous issues have nothing to do with APK files being downloaded as ZIP files. The reason why some APK files don't get saved as APKs is because the server that the files are hosted on is incorrectly reporting the file type.
Enter the URL of the file you're downloading into this page: http://www.webconfs.com/http-header-check.php
That page shows what the server hosting the file is declaring about the file. The "Content-Type" header field is supposed to be "application/vnd.android.package-archive" for APK files. If it is not, then my app ends up saving the file as whatever the server tells it the file is. In your case, the server is telling the app that it is a ZIP file. Technically, the app is not doing anything wrong because it's trusting that the server is configured correctly, but I need to change it so that I don't always trust the server. I'll hopefully address this in the next version of the app.
Your best options until I fix this is to either host the file on a correctly configured server, or use another app, like ES File Explorer to either download the file or rename the file to .apk.
