1P8 suggest bug and file download feature

Thanks for your message ankhazam.

I've gone ahead and updated the report with your comments here.

I don't see any "Document" type fields in my wallet. Only File types...

That's a great point. The support document would be clearer if it specified any item type with attached files. Document items have a default file section that works the same as a file section added to any other item type. You can open a saved file with the corresponding reader on a device then save it to your files via that application. I've filed an issue with the docs team to look into updating this guide.

For example I have a secure note with a PDF. I can open the secure note then tap the file > Preview. My PDF will open (if a default hasn't been set you should see the option to select a reader) and I can use the PDF reader to save the file to my device.

Thanks again!

Hey, 1P_Timothy . As I have already said I'm not interested in your internal timeline... just bump the issue, escalate it etc...

Thank you also for your efforts but does that simply mean that for all the files I have convienently attached on my computer I need to rename them and reattach? I apologize but this cannot be even called a workaround.

As for the document. I was referering to this part of the manual you linked me:

I don't see any "Document" type fields in my wallet. Only File types...

and as I mentioned they only call the "Preview" panel on my Android (Samsung S21).
Within the panel there is no option to download a file, only to pass it to a relevant application.

Hence all I am asking is that you add an option for "File" type attachments "Save as" which would simply save the file to a selected directory on the phone.

BR,

Hi ankhazam, thanks for your message. I can understand your frustration here and why this important to you. I am very sorry that I do not have more news to share regarding when we'll see a change in behavior here.

I was not able to download an .ovpn file from 1Password for Android without switching the file type before uploading or using the .conf configuration files provided on the Open VPN website. I'm not familiar enough with .ovpn to say if that would invalidate the purpose of the file though.

As for the document type... well I cannot even create such a field, so no... also can NOT download it to my phone.

Is this in reference to your .ovpn files or other documents? You should be able to add attachment fields to any items by tapping add more > Attach a File.

Hey 1P_Timothy,
thanks for your response!

So the misunderstanding we have is that I'm not asking for your backlog or timeline, keep it wherever you want... I'm calling in a bug raised over 6 months ago....

Thank you also for the link. I have just tested it on Android 13 and the .ovpn file can be only previewed. and from the preview panel there is NO SHARE link as in your tutorial... hence I'm stuck with the file in my wallet or the openvpn app.

As for the document type... well I cannot even create such a field, so no... also can NOT download it to my phone.

I look forward to hearing from you with a proposed workaround and/or bugfix.

Thanks for following up with me ankhazam. We tend to keep our development plans and timelines close to the chest. I do not have any information to share as to when or if this will be added to 1Password. Thanks for sharing your continued interest!

I'd also like to note that you can download most file types to your device from 1Password for Android they would just need to be re-uploaded after editing: Work with files in the 1Password apps

Hey... So already more than 6 months have passed since raising this silly and/or simple feature/bug requests -> I still cannot edit ovpn files attached to my 1 Password on my android phone... the app forces me to preview then and not save in the phone storage. When can I expect this to be resolved?

Hi ankhazam, as mentioned I’ve shared your feedback with our product team for their consideration. While I can certainly see the benefit here, what is added to our pipeline and when it might be implemented is up to the other teams at 1Password. We also tend to play our development plans close to the chest, I'm sorry to say there are no updates to share, my apologies for any frustration.

Hey 1P_Timothy , another month has passed and I still cannot download/save a file from my wallet on android :(

Hi ankhazam, thanks for following up. No updates to share. Let us know if there's anything else we can help with!

Hey 1P_Timothy, any updates on those 2 features? ;)
