How to send mail with attachment on the new mobile Gmail interface
I have been
receiving series of messages from different people pertaining the new mobile
Gmail interface on how to attach files while composing a new message with
mobile device. And truly, when one take a close look at the new mobile Gmail
interface when trying to attach a file while composing a new message, it is
obvious that there is no room for file attachment to the message.
In my
previous post, I discussed the new mobile Gmail and the new mobile yahoo interface.
From my own
point of view, I think it is an omission or error on the part of Google not to
include that in their new mobile Gmail look, and many Gmail users are not
really please with that and consider it as a major downside for the new mobile
Gmail interface. The issue has really kept users wondering, and with the view
that whenever changes or upgrade like this is being made, that it has always
been done for the total improvement of the former versions without losing any core
feature or function.
But we noticed
that it is not always so, that changes sometimes still fail to meet users
requirement and even some core features available in older versions are
somtimes being left out in the new versions or upgrade, as can easily be seen
with the new mobile Gmail interface as discussed above.
There are
other similar occurrences that have happened in the past to other companies
whereby core features are being omitted in the newly upgraded version of the
product or service they render. A typical example could be seen in Microsoft
windows 8, where the start-up button that was valued by many window users and
that was present in other lower versions of windows was omitted. And we all saw
the effect of the omission which caused Microsoft to immediately embark on the
production of windows 8.1 to correct the anomaly.
Another example
of such important feature omission could be observed on opera mini for mobile
where earlier versions of opera mini has this wonderful short cut key feature
that by combining the #key button followed immediately by the number 3 keypad
button, quickly takes one either to the top or bottom of a long page, but in
the newer versions of opera mini, such feature is nowhere to be found.
Going back
to the original question on how to attach file(s) when composing a new mail on
the new mobile Gmail interface? The simple answer to that question is that
there is no provision for the attachment of files when composing a new mail on
the new mobile Gmail interface. The only option left here if you have to attach
a file to your new message is for you to switch the mobile version to the
desktop version.
And since
the above option of switching to desktop version too is not available in the
new mobile Gmail mobile interface. If you want to achieve that so that you will
be able to type your message and attach file(s) to it, click this link Gmail desktop version for mobile with
your mobile device. After that, you will be taken immediately to the desktop
version and there, you should be able to compose your mail, attach whatever
file you want from your mobile device.
