Uploading photos/docs from ipad

Options
How do I upload photos from my ipad camera roll, as an attachment to emails on an ipad? There seems to be no way how to do it!!
Also, how can I save documents to my ipad and then upload them as attachments to emails? I've recently got thedropbox app on my ipad but that doesn't seem to help!

    It's a bit fiddly, but entirely possible (I had the same problem with my iPhone).
    From memory, if you go to the camera roll (for example) and view the photo and there should be an icon to send it somehwere. One of the links it to send it via email which (I believe) adds it as an attachment.

    How you would do it for multiple items, I haven't a clue.

    Any posts are my opinion and only that. Please read at your own risk.

    Depends on what version of iOS your using if it the latest one, then go into camera roll and in the top right it say select, tap that select the photo or photos you want to send. At the bottom left of the screen you will see a square box with an arrow pointing upwards tap that it will open up a pop up menu select the mail option it will then open the email app and you will see the pics in the message. Choose whom you want to send it to then click send.

    If the file is particularly large it will ask what size do you want to send them in, click the one you want and the email will be sent. It might be wise to do this over wifi so as it doesn't eat to much of your data.

    As for saving files on your iPad it depends on what kind of files they are. PDF's are usually stored in iBooks, Pictures can be stored in your camera roll, again if you hold on the picture you want for a few seconds a pop up box will say save picture tap that and it will save the picture to your camera roll.

    Again would need to know what the other files are before commenting.
    Time is a path from the past to the future and back again. The present is the crossroads of both. :cool:

    View the photo, and the toolbar has an icon representing 'send' (a square with a curved arrow leading out from it). Click this, and a panel opens with e-mail as one option - click this, and a new e-mail opens with the picture embedded therein (not attached)

    Many thanks for your replies. I think I'm using the latest version of iOS, it looks almost like clear.

    I was looking to upload my CV to a website, its in Microsoft Word format.
