Transferring photos from a computer to an email account is commonly referred to as uploading. You can upload photos from your computer's hard drive and include them as attachment files on an email. The best way to transfer pictures from your computer to an email is to send them to yourself first. Sending the pictures to yourself makes the pictures active in your email's Sent box. You can always access them on your email, whether you're sitting at your own computer or out and about. Uploading only takes a second, depending on the number of photos you're transferring.
