The documentation shows you the methods you need to get attachments from an email. Here is some code example assuming you have already retrieved your emails and looping from each to get attachments.

if ($email->hasAttachments()) {
    // Email has attachments
    $attachments = $email->getAttachments()->map(function ($attachment) {
        // Save each attachment to your preferred location
        return $attachment->saveAttachmentTo('path/to/downloaded/attachments', 'filename', 'disk');
    });

    // You now have the paths to the downloaded files in the $attachments variable.
}

The methods availed to you by the package that I have used in the code above are: hasAttachments(), getAttachments(), saveAttachmentTo($path, $filename, $disk)

Okay the one which you share is extremely easy and I gonna replace it with mine one. How I did was

$message = LaravelGmail::message()->get( $gmailID );
        $parts=($message->payload->parts);
        foreach ( $parts as $part ) {
			$body = $part->getBody();
			if ( $body->getAttachmentId() ) {
				$attachment = ( new Attachment( $gmailID, $part ) );
                $attach['attachment'][] = ['fileName'=>$attachment->getFileName(),
                'size'=> $attachment->getSize(),
                'data'=>$attachment->getData()];
			}
        }

My Bad :-P
