- By default, your Android phone can easily share pictures through Gmail.
- Just go into the Gallery app, tap a picture, then go into the menu and tap Share. Select Gmail and send the email to your chosen recipient.

- Once ASTRO is installed, open Gmail.

- The default selection is Gallery, but we're going to choose ASTRO.
- Now, scroll through the available files and folders to find the file you want to send.
