Fastmail app awesome, with one significant flaw
Awesome app. Absolutely awesome.
Unfortunately they still haven't made a method to"share pictures" or any other files, with fastmail. Only way to attach photos is to start a message and insert file... But if you have thousands of photos, I may be impossible to sort through then all... We need a "share to fastmail" control in Android, that allows us to share the photos /Cl |

I get that this is so important to you, but one flaw is so significant you had to post twice? |

Why not use the gallery web-site function?
It's dead easy to use. Upload the pics to a folder under 'files' then under 'web-sites' create a web-page of type 'gallery' and point it at the folder containing the pics. Simples. |

Of course, I can just go in fastmail, and select "add picture" to the email, and do it that way, but it adds a lot of steps. I'd like to see the app work with the standard Android functionality. |

Ah, OK, I misunderstood.
That word 'share' has a new special meaning, and is therefore ambiguous. I see what you meant now. Last edited by Grhm : 15 Mar 2019 at 10:37 PM. |

The mobile version of FastMail loads automatically on my Android phone and works perfectly. Why would I need the FastMail app? What "exactly" does the app offer that the mobile version of the website does not?

https://www.fastmail.com/help/clients/mobileapp.html The main differences are:
- Share your photos and files directly to the Fastmail app - Long click on links to view the url and perform relevant actions - Performance improvements For iOS - What's New in the Aug 25 app release: - Share your photos, files and text directly to the Fastmail app. - Tell your device that you can share to Fastmail by tapping More from the Share menu, and enabling the Fastmail app. - New Device Settings menu located within the app. - Choose your default browser for opening links. - Toggle the Desktop UI (iPad only). - View the app version number. - Links will now open in the in-app browser by default. - To change your default browser settings, open Device Settings within the Fastmail app. - Bug fixes and maintenance.
