E Mail Attachments Google

[eiei0]

When I click the attach (paper clip) icon, it opens up my desktop satisfactorily, with heading File Upload. But when I click on the document or photo I wish to attach, what gets attached is a similar desk top screen , but headed Save As, not the image I want to attach. This has only happened in the last two days. Any help appreciated.

If you're accessing your email account through a web browser (such as Chrome, Edge, Firefox, etc), rather than through a dedicated email app (such as Windows Mail or Thunderbird), try clearing its cache. (If you need instructions, please tell us which browser you're using).

If that doesn't work, try a different web browser. If that fixes the problem (as I strongly suspect that it will) return to your preferred browser and reset it back to its 'fresh out of the box' configuration. (You won't lose any bookmarks). Again, if you need instructions, please tell us which browser you use.

Thanks for response. I am using google chrome.
The attachment is actually being sent and received as intended; it is just that I am unable to view or verify this BEFORE sending the e-mail. Previously the attachment title appeared under the message for me to open and check it was what I intended
