I am running Windows 10 and importing my photos into the Photos App however when I click on Share the only options that are available are Mail (Windows 10 app) or my Samsung printer, there is no Outlook 2013 option there so I can email it.

Am I missing something obvious?

Windows for home | Windows 10 | Connect Phone and PC

    I have used a couple of Apps to work around the issues.  We use EasyUpload to send files to a OneDrive folder that is created on the fly for that particular upload.  Once the files are uploaded you can use the copy link and paste the link into any program that you would like including Outlook.  There is also a share option that will let you send the link via whatever Apps that you have installed.  We install and use Share via e-mail to send the links via Outlook.  You can also use Share via e-mail to send links via Microsoft Edge and most other Apps.  It does not work in the Photos app but the combination of EasyUpload and Share via e-mail work very well. 

    Here are the links for both Apps.

    This is such BS. I ended up reenabling photo viewer. This method worked on a fresh Windows 10 install: http://www.intowindows.com/how-to-enable-windows-photo-viewer-in-windows-10/

    I manage a corporate Windows environment and we're still appalled by WIndows 10 lack of features and control as seen in Windows 7. It's clear that Microsoft is trying to do too much with 1 OS and like Apple, they are trying to tell users how to use a computer, not making a product that allows them to do what they want.

    This is ridiculous that we have to resort to a program that was released back in the Windows NT days so that we can get basic functionality out of the OS that Microsoft is forcing us to migrate to. Complete BS and I would be embarrassed if I were Microsoft and that's the public canned response on a public discussion board.

    In, sort of, fairness, one can, of course, send photos through Outlook 2016 etc. using Windows Explorer/Send/Email.

    That will also enable one to choose the size of the image(s) to be sent.

    However, and it is a huge however, it requires one to have synced the Camera Roll to the computer. Thereby negating the whole idea of Cloud storage.

    When there were placeholdersfor OneDrive that worked fine. Some genius at Microsoft disabled those thereby crippling most of the system.

    Until someone in Redmond gets a grip on all of this and sanity is restored...
