Once you’ve downloaded the Gmail attachment to your phone, it should be in your Downloads folder (or whatever you set as the default download folder on your phone). You can access this using the default file manager app on your phone (called ‘Files’ on stock Android), then navigating to the Download folder within that.

Where do email attachments get saved on Android?
