How to transfer a folder to Photo Gallery from OneDrive?

[Desktop Dell Inspiron 560 4gb RAM; high speed cable; MS Windows10

Hi, how can I move or transfer over to Photo Gallery, 2 folders with some pics inside, from a Pictures folder under "OneDrive", so I can then attach them to an email going to a friend?

When MS installed W10 in my computer, I couldn't find Photo Gallery anymore and all my pictures suddenly were in OneDrive.  I found it impossible to email my pictures from Photo App so I came back to Photo Gallery but I need to know how to put those 2 folders with pics inside Photo Gallery so I can email them to my friend.

Thanks ever so much for a very prompt help!    :o)

Hi,

Welcome to Microsoft Community and thank you for posting your question here.

To assist you further with the issue could you please confirm a couple of things.


Have you configured to OneDrive on your Widows 10 computer?

If yes, check the photos are locally present in the OneDrive folder in the file explorer. If you have the photos then attach the files from OneDrive folder.


If you have not configured to OneDrive desktop, then you have to log in to OneDrive via web browser > select the files which you need to attach > download the same on your computer and then attach it to your email.

Let us know the status of the issue to assist you further.

Thank you.

Thank you very much, but I'm desperate about this matter, so I kept trying and decided to drag them first...but it didn't leave a copy in OpenDrive, so I then decided to copy them and it worked!

However, my final destination was to send these attachments to my email so I could send these pics to a friend.  So, again, I had to go and try to find out how to send these attachments, this time: from photo gallery to my email.

I saw in the internet, instructions which I followed:

Open Photo Gallery, and then select the photos or videos you want to email.

On the Home tab, in the Share group, click Email.

Select a size for the photos, and then click Attach.

It worked for my 2 sets of pics...with 2 exceptions:

1.  When I sent the 2nd set of pics, the first set attached disappeared!  and,

2.  Now I can't find the email with the one set of pics attached.

My question: 

1. Must I then put EACH set of pics in a different email?

2. Where do you think the email disappeared to?

Thanks very much!
