Hello,

for the past few days I've been getting this message when trying to send attachments with Gmail:

Failed to attach the file. The problem might be related to a proxy server or a firewall.

Does anyone have any idea what's going on? I think it's related to the Mozilla update...

Configuration: Windows Vista / Firefox 4.0.1

It's normal for the problem to disappear on Chrome, as it's a Google product. I have the same issue and here's what I've noticed:

- If I try to attach my file directly, it will never work. However, it gives you the option to attach it via Google Drive; magically, the file attaches at an extraordinary speed. In this case, the recipient also has to download it via Google Drive. It's like Google is forcing us to use its product. I wonder why, I'll leave you to think about it.

- The reason is that both the sender and the recipient must have Gmail. In this case, I recommend using a competing product.
