Additional Information
This behavior is as designed. ArcGIS Online documentation states, "If the layer you export contains attachments and you want to export the attachments, export to a file geodatabase. When you export the layer to any of the other formats listed below [KML is listed here], attachments are not included." Refer to the following documentation for additional information: https://doc.arcgis.com/en/arcgis-online/manage-data/use-hosted-layers.htm#GUID-47A1D795-B330-45D7-89F7-9203A99E6924.Workaround
- Pull the hosted feature layer with attachments to ArcGIS Pro;
- Run the Layer to KML geoprocessing tool for the layer;
- Notice that the exported kmz file has attachments; the file shows up in both ArcGIS Pro and Google Earth Pro.
