Are PDF attachments saved in the system?
|
When photos are attached, I know they get put in the "Emailed Photos" album in Photos. What happens to PDF files? I can't locate them anywhere, can I'd like to see it put into FIles somewhere? The PDF in question is in /g/MILW/message/90472 . Thanks to anyone who has a good answer for me.

Oddly you can only find PDF attachments with the post. At least I don¡¯t see them anywhere else. If you mentioned PDF in the post itself, you can find it by search. But if it is simply attached to an email. no dice. I looked to see if there was an auto hashtag. Nope. Not in Photos nor in Files. I happen to have a recent PDF attachment in one of my smaller groups for trying to track this down. Btw the PDF opens just fine. If it is elsewhere I¡¯d love to know.

It does not say 'where' they are but you can see a list of attachments. ?
They're stored as part of the message.? They're not separate like photos.? There is no easy way to remove a pdf attachment, you'll always end up going to the message and editing it out.? If you hover on the attachment name in the message, the URL will be groupname/attachment/message#/sequential#/filename.? In the attachments list, it just points you to the message.? (That may not make much sense to you unless you're a computer nerd. ;>)

¿ªÔÆÌåÓýSteve, Duane and all:
Thank you all for your thoughtful responses. I was afraid?that was the only answer. I haven't had problems downloading PDF files, but I was hoping for a simpler method of sending a copy to the Files area rather than having to save it to a hard drive first?and then resave it to the group Files. Perhaps Mark might consider a method to right click on the file in the message and allow it to be saved in Files, perhaps allowing it to be put in a specific folder?

Dano inquires: "When photos are attached, I know they get put in the "Emailed Photos" album in Photos. What happens to PDF files? I can't locate them anywhere, can I'd like to see it put into FIles somewhere? The PDF in question is in /g/MILW/message/90472 . Thanks to anyone who has a good answer for me."
Having read the previous responses and being a member of Dano's MILW list I took a look at this. As others have suggested, there does not appear to be a way to directly move the pdf in ??????? question to the group files folder. However, as Dano's end goal is to "put into the files somewhere", here's a solution that achieves Dano's desired result: 1)????? Locate the message online in the group. a)????? Then either, i)????? Right click on the PDF, ii)???? Click on ¡°Save Link As¡±, iii)??? Select the location on your system to D/L to, iv)???? Consider changing the name back to something useful (Windows seems to want to save as giving the file a guaranteed unique file name. v)????? Save the file. b)????? Or, i)????? Double click on the pdf in the e-mail, ii)???? When the PDF opens in Adobe, click on the download icon, iii)??? Specify where to D/L and give it a good file name again if needed, and iv)???? Save. 2)????? The file in question is now on your PC where you can use Groups.io to upload the file to the desired location in the group¡¯s file folder. HTH.

I'm sure he'd entertain this - and I would support it - but there may be a practical difficulty of some kind. The same thing has occasionally been asked of Emailed Photos (read: photo attachments), which also require a preliminary download to move them to another album. For some reason that I don't understand, the notion has never gotten a whole lot of traction.
