Thanks.

    @qzmarco: That isn't something 1Password handles, as that's incredibly insecure. To open a file in another app it must be decrypted first. But you can open it with Photos or another image app and share it from there. Again, just keep in mind that 1Password isn't able to protect it at that point — and email is an inherently insecure communication medium. I hope this helps. Be sure to let me know if you have any other questions! :)

    @brenty "But you can open it with Photos or another image app and share it from there". Sorry, i can't find this option on Android app. Do you help me with this?

    @qzmarco: Sure! When viewing a Document item in 1Password, you'll have "Tap to (download and) view" under the filename. If you tap that, Android will give you a list of apps that are available to open it with. Once you open it in the app, just use the share menu there (looks like a weird sideways V here) to send it to an email recipient or another app for sharing. Just bear in mind that this is all outside of 1Password at this point. I hope this helps!

    That does not happen here. When I select tap and view, the attachment, which in my case is an image, opens as preview and there is no onscreen action button or share button.

    @qzmarco: Then you've told Android to "always open" images in an app that does not support sharing. You'll have to change that in Settings > Default Apps. It's not something 1Password has any control over.

    Can I know which default app is being used to display the images? I use a Galaxy S7 and when the attachment image is displayed, there is no information about which app is in use to display the image.

    Forget it, I did it!

    By default it was opening with the Samsung Gallery. I reset to defaults and I selected Google Photos by default. Now I have the option to share the image.

    Thank you.

    :)

    PS: I noticed that in Galaxy S7, Android 7, does not appear the option to open just once / always. Once the app is selected, it will default.

    Ah, gotcha. Thanks so much for the update! That may help others as well if they've gotten stuck with everything opening in "Samsung Gallery" after using it once. Cheers! :)
