I'm having a similar problem. I was trying to send some essays to my professor in college but the attachments are disappearing. I've tried sending them as word documents and as PDFs. I've also tried sending them to myself. None of these approaches were working. I then thought it might be because I was attempting to send seven at once to I tried sending a picture to myself which also didn't work.
I'm using Google Chrome and Windows 7. Please help, I really need to get these essays submitted! Eoin P.S I am clicking attach and waiting for the blue loading bar to finish on all attachments before sending.
