Windows 10 Photos App - no Outlook Share option??

Anonymous

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?

    Really? Jesus, that makes this program frustrating and redundant - back to good ol' Windows Photo Viewer it seems.

    What an utterly daft decision/restriction. We use Outlook on our company domain and I am NOT setting up my e-mail twice for the sole reason that Windows share 'charm' has no customisation at all.

    I'd that makes you just about as flexible as the app you are criticising  ;-)

    You sound like a diffident teenager!

    No it doesn't, just makes you look like you're trying to cause drama. Go away and let the adults speak.

    The fact that I posted this originally well over 2 years ago and they still haven't addressed it...Good ol' Microsoft.

    I'm stunned that Microsoft's flagship desktop product (Office) does not support their very own flagship Operating System (Windows 10). It IS daft, completely daft.

    So if Microsoft doesn't address this issue, is there a decent photo app on the market Microsoft can recommend that either integrates well with Outlook or offers compression of shared images by its own (not sending out images with their original size is one of the major reasons we can't go ahead with the new Windows 10 Mail app instead)?

    This is a huge problem for me. My GOVERNMENT computer is migrated to Windows 10 and there is NO WAY in HELL I would be allowed or would EVER want to give MS access to my government emails, so I'm not setting it up in your email App.  You've made photos virtually unusable and have basically taken over ownership of our photos.  There is literally ZERO reason for MS to be so non-user friendly about this.

    It truly is a giant puzzle why the Windows Photo Viewer has absolutely no problem using the email program that I have identified as the Default email app and yet this new photo app is clueless!  Ridiculous!

    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.
