Advice needed please re how to send 60 photos by email

8 replies

Psosugi · 19/07/2025 12:24

Tech advice needed please...I need to send 60 ish photos by email to someone.
What is the best way to do this?
I use Google docs if that is any use.
I don't want to use a third party platform such as Dropbox.
Can I just create a link to a folder in my Google photos?
Or can I put them in some kind of compressed file? How would I create a file like that?
Any advice appreciated, preferably options with as few steps as possible.

I'm doing it on my phone by the way, which is a Google pixel phone

if you use google docs and gmail, you can select the 'share' option somewhere in your Doc and then send a link to the person who should receive the photos.

if you have the photos as .jpg on your pc, you could put them in a .zip file and email that but it might be BIG

WeTransfer would let you send the .zip file more efficiently.

Are you using Windows or Mac?

Would putting them in an album in Google photos and then sharing a link to the album work?

This is by far the easiest.

Just share your google folder with the persons email address.

transfer the photos you want to send to a separate folder.
