You can transfer pictures from Google Drive to email using the Google Drive web interface.
To begin, sign in to your Google account and navigate to drive.google.com. From there, select the photos you want to transfer by checking the boxes next to each image.
Sharing Google Drive Photos
Sharing Google Drive Photos is a straightforward process. You can share photos via email as an attachment or directly from your drive.
To share a photo via email, you're ready to go once you've selected the photo. You can share it publicly or privately by email as an attachment. Just be aware that large files might not be the best choice for email attachments.
Alternatively, you can share the Google Drive photo via email directly from your drive. This option is just as convenient as sharing as an attachment.
Before sharing, check the file size of your photo. If it's large, consider using the shareable link instead of a direct attachment. This will help ensure a smoother sharing experience.
For added privacy, password protect shared links or be selective in choosing recipients. This will help keep your photos safe.

Attach File
Attaching files from Google Drive to your email is a breeze. You can provide the full name of the file in Google Drive, and Document Studio will search for it and attach it to the email message.
You can also attach files from Google Drive by getting a link to the file and pasting it into the email message template. To do this, open your Google Drive, right-click the file, and click the Get link item from the context menu to copy the link.
If you have a list of files in a Google Sheet, you can attach unique files to each email recipient. Create a new column in the merge sheet with links to your files in Google Drive, separated by commas.
Here are the steps to send large files through Gmail using Google Drive:
- Select the Google Drive icon from the bottom toolbar while composing the email.

Sending Large Files
Sending large files can be a bit tricky, but don't worry, I've got you covered. You can use Google Drive to email big files from the Gmail website or app, depending on your device.
To send large files from the Gmail website, select the Google Drive icon from the bottom toolbar while composing an email. You can then choose to send the file from your Google Drive account or upload it now.
You can upload multiple files at once by selecting all the files at the same time, or after uploading the first file, select Add more files to choose others to send. If you're selecting existing files, select Upload or Insert.
If you're using the Gmail app on an iOS device, you'll need to take a slightly different approach. Select the attachment icon (the paperclip), and select Insert from Drive to browse or search for the file you want to send through Gmail from Google Drive.
