iOS Question What's the easiest way to access a file attached to an incoming email?

[Andris]

In converting an app from B4A to B4i, I'm trying to figure out the best way to get access to a file attached to an incoming email. In B4A, downloading a file from Gmail automatically puts it in the shared Download folder and my app can easily access it. But as we know, iOS is much trickier and I'm having a hard time deciding the best way to proceed.

From the standard email app, tapping the icon for an attached file results in a Save to Files choice, which then gives me a choice between iCloud Drive and On My iPhone. On My iPhone has no choices at the moment. Is it possible for me to make my B4i app, specifically File.DirDocuments, a folder choice that can be selected here? If not, does anyone have a best suggestion, based on experience?

Thanks Erel. I had a feeling this was the direction to go. Thanks for confirming.
