How to Upload Photos in Gmail
Gmail is a free email service provided by the creators of the Google search engine. Users can create a free Gmail account, upload photos and send these photos by email to designated contacts. You may upload the attached photos individually, or you can use Adobe flash player to upload and attach multiple photos. A status bar is available to show the uploading status and to determine when you may send the email.
