IOS – How to print .docx attachments from Gmail iPad app

gmailiosipadms officeprinting

When I open a .docx formatted attachment with the Gmail iPad app, there's no option to print.

I've installed the MS-Office for iPad app, but so far as I can see, there's no way to change default applications to get my attachment to open with MS-Office.

Is there a straightforward way around this?

Best Answer

There's no way to add the printing functionality to Gmail's iOS app (using the share button).

Workarounds

  1. Open the attachment in Mail.app (which allows for printing)
  2. Save/copy the attachment to another app that allows for printing i.e. Files.app, Google Docs, MS Word etc.
