    Default Unable to attach documents to GMail

    Hi

    Until a few days ago I was able to attach documents to GMail messages by selecting the paperclip icon and double-clicking the document in my File list. What happens now is document title and file size appear at the bottom of the Gmail and the adjacent box fills with blue. All good so far, but after about one second the blue bar disappears leaving just the document title and file size and attempting to open the attachment reveals nothing there. Lenovo PC running Windows 10, Chrome browser. Attaching from Drive seems to be OK.

    File size is typically <20k - that should not be too big?

    Running Avast (free)
    I thought that Win 10 updated automatically
    I uninstalled and reloaded chrome last week after this issue arose.
    I haven't tried another browser but will do so soon

    thanks for taking the trouble to help
