Is it possible to export / open attachments on mobile (android specifically). E.g. I have a zip file attached to a note, can I save it to sdcard ot attach to an email?

Yes, I think you can just click on the link, and from there share it with other apps.

Thanks, it works now though at one point it didn’t (one difference is I had encryption enabled). I’ll try to reproduce later.
