HELP I can't send my photos through Gmail!

I did a shop today in which I had to take two photos and upload them into the report. Ordinarily when I have to do this I just take the photo and email it to myself but this is not working for some reason. Any suggestions for me?

That's happened to me. Even though the email didn't arrive in my inbox, it was in my Sent folder and I was able to get the pictures from there. Other thoughts--Have you tried sending the pictures from a different email program? Or texting them? Maybe delete some old photos to free up space?

Thanks for your reply Chris, I did look in my sent folder and I did have to just set up another email account on my phone.Problem solved thank goodness.

Dropbox is kinda cool too. it automatically shares your photos with your home computer. I sent mine up so it only transfers the pictures when the phone is on wifi. So sometimes I have to wait awhile for all of the pics to load when I get home, but I don't have to put any effort into it at all.

Thanks for the tip, is Dropbox available on Android phones?

If you have an Android phone you should have a Google account. My Droid settings backup all of my Photos to Google. I just log into Google (using Chrome helps) and upload the images from my Google Photo folder. In many cases, I actually use my phone to add the photos to the MSC reports.

Yes, Dropbox is available on Android. And you can sync the box with multiple devices including laptops and tablets.

Thank you, I never knew that! I was thinking about upgrading to the Note 7 but alas, I like my house and my car. I'm very disappointed.

There are many free backup choices. Your carrier may offer one, the phone manufacturer, the operating system provider (Google, Windows, Apple, ...), as mentioned Dropbox and similar cloud hosts, and most can be synchronized and/or accessed between devices.

Do you happen to use social media? Facebook is great for sending photos through my messages. I can message myself and drop the pics right in there and grab them later on any device.

If you submit a photo to Facebook, it reduces the resolution dramatically. When you later download, it it will be at much lower resolution. Make sure that you understand the requirements of the MSC before you count on being able to do this. I would also be concerned about people being able to see all of the odd photos. I am not inclined to tell the world that I do mystery shops.

I sometimes open the report on my phone and upload the photos, then click save. I finish the report on my desktop. I actually think that's easier then sending the photo ,then opening my email on the desktop, saving the photos, then uploading the photos to the report. Saves a lot of time.
