Hey Microsoft. I am being forced by you to disable legacy authentication
As such I will no longer be able to use Gmail as an option to send emails with attachments. Please fix your app.
This is absolutely ridicules. This post is from 2017 and it still isn't fixed?! I only have this app because I am required to for work. I send a lot of photos for my job by email and having the embedded into the body of the email is maddening.
Why can I not properly attach a pic to an email with the app? Why has this not been addressed?
Maybe apple products would work better...
This is the dumbest thing i`ve ever seen in a mobile app !!!! seriously you guys can not do better than this ... Frustrating as hell, do something faster or delete this stupid app .
For bugs and sudden stops we said ok, fine ... but attaching images this way !!!!

I disagree, this has been done on purpose. What is so very irksome about it is Microsoft chooses to let everyone just suffer the consequences without explaining the reason behind it. If a fix were actually in the works they'd have tried to soothe their customer base by saying so. Or at least I, as a business manager, assumes this is the way any good company would naturally treat their customer base.
...Right?
If it helps anyone I just use gmail to mail pics I want to outlook and then forward from there, given up hope of them ever fixing this in the app. Yeah you need to wait an extra minute but you can then forward a single mail with all attached like normal without having to go back to laptop or PC to recompose the whole lot.
