Problem download xlsx file as .dms

Hello to all,

I encounter the following problem: trying to download an excel file (bytestream) on ipad, I get a file called "unknow.dms".

In order to open the file I have to manually rename the file to ".xlsx", so I can view it.

I found on the internet that this is a problem related to Safari and Mail (https://fileinfo.com/extension/dms and https://forums.macrumors.com/threads/safari-erroneously-adding-dms-extension-to -downloads.2080108 / page-2) and that had already been reported to Apple in the past.

Has anyone encountered this problem? If yes, how did you solve it?

Is there an official answer or open discussion on this topic?

Thanks in advance for the help.
