Emailing photos

Do you need to send a lot of photos to multiple people? Here are 3 methods:

1. Compress large files before emailing them

If you’re on a Windows computer, you can right-click a file or folder, go to “Send to” and click “Compressed (zipped) folder.”

The compressed file will appear in the same folder directory as the original file you compressed.

You’ll notice that the compressed file is smaller than the original. You can then email the file!

2. Upload and email files with Google Drive

Google Drive is a cloud storage service offered by Google that enables you to upload large files or and entire folder to the cloud and share them by email.

With a free subscription and a Gmail account, you will get access to uploading up to 15GB of files.

To start emailing large files through Google Drive, first, you’ll need a free account with Google Email. You can set one up for one here.

Once you’ve set up your Google account, you can access your Google Drive by visiting drive.google.com. You should see something like this:

Simply drag and drop the large file into Google Drive, right-click the file and click share.

Next, type in the email address of the person you wish to share the file with. Click “Done” and voila! You’ve just shared a large file using Google Drive.

You can also share with a group that you have created using Google Groups.

You can also send multiple files at the same time by creating a folder in Google Drive and sharing the folder.

You can also click “Get Link” to get a drive link that you can email your recipient.

3. Upload to Flickr and share

Flickr is a photo sharing website. You can create a free account although it will show you adverts. You can then upload up to 1000 photos.

Then you can share your ‘photostream’ to email accounts or a group. They will receive an email with a link to your photos.
