Can't enable storage permission for gmail - "screen overlay detected" error message



New Nexus 6p, latest OTA upgrade.
Tried saving a file from an email attachment on Gmail app, the system asked me if I wanted to allow storage access permissions, I said yes, and another popup message said:

Screen overlay detected
To change this permission setting, you first have to turn off the screen overlay from Settings > Apps

When I go to these settings it shows the setting (YES or No) for each individual app. Gmail wasn't in the list of apps.

Any idea what to do?
