Got nice photos that you want to share with someone? This is done very quickly via e-mail.
Beautiful pictures
Share fun photos with others easily. Emailing photos is especially useful if it’s a single photo or a few small images. Digital photos are often ‘large’ files. Most providers have a maximum message size. It is therefore only possible to email many photos to someone at once when you do this via Google Drive.
