When an email is received on the iPhone that contains one or more attachments, the attachment can be downloaded by touching the file from the Mail application itself.

To do this you must open it with the appropriate application or save it in iCloud Drive. Next we will see how to store an attachment that we have in an email message in our iCloud storage to have it synchronized with all our devices.
From Mail to iCloud Drive
