I can't download any attachments from the list or library in SharePoint 2013.

Even I can't see the attachments. I only see the paperclips. What should I do?

  • Can you download the attachment which is uploaded by you? Did you check your permission on the list?

You can use Event Receiver and create another list (ListA) to record your attachment link.

Maybe your process is:

  1. Users add list items and attachments

  2. List event will be fired

  3. Use Event Receiver to get attachment url and then Write into ListA

You also can refer to the following web site:

You can use JSlink to make attachment download by clicking on Paper Clip Icon representing attachment. You can use the code and explaination provided in the below link.

Make List Item Attachment link clickable with JSLink
