Emailing pictures

[Beefsmith]

I seem to be taking more and more pictures that then need emailing for various things like machine breakdowns, machine sales, stewardship’s, building works etc. I’m using a IPhone XS and the pics are generally about 4mb each so trying to email 10 at a time just doesn’t work. How does everybody else do it as there must be an easier way? Any machinery salespeople on here as those boys must be doing it on a daily basis?

can you not reduce the resolution of the photos, this will reduce the file size

Their app doesn’t seem to do this on an apple.

But then the quality is poorer.

No good to email addresses. Natural England or the local building control don’t whatsapp or fb I’m afraid.

Try Dropbox.

Putting a group of photos into a file in Dropbox, Evernote, or any such app, with the 'share' option ticked, with the intended recipient's email input, will result in an invitation sent to the recipient to share that file.

So you export from Photos to one of those hosts, which should be listed as options in Photos if you have them installed, and off you go...

However, it doesn't sound like most of your recipients require anything like full resolution images, so most should be OK with reduced file sizes sent direct by email. To do this, I Export from Photos, using the tabs at the top, to a file I've named 'Export', which you can keep anywhere, including the desktop if you like, and export in as Large Medium quality or similar. You can then choose or drag and drop as many as you like from there to an email.

I’ve only used it as an equipment manufacturer (in China) sends me firmware update files in this way.

I’ve found the links they send aren’t permanent and expire after 10 days or so. Perhaps this is a limitation with the free version.

Otherwise I agree it works well enough, but I couldn't vouch for large volumes of uncompressed photo files.

If you send on iPhone it will ask before sending the file size. I bet most folks receiving a 1mb rather than 4mb photo wouldn't know the difference, so mail up to 4 at a time in a 4mb overall packet

Or use WhatsApp

I prefer WhatsApp as the incoming photos are stored straight on my camera roll
