Windows 10: WHY AM I NOT ALLOWED TO JUST EMAIL MYSELF A COPY OF A DOCUMENT I ALREADY OWN

THIS MAKES A SIMPLE TASK SO MUCH MORE DIFFICULT AND I HAVE BECOME IRRATIONALLY ANGRY BECAUSE NOY I NEED TO GO THROUGH A STUPIDLY LONG PROCESS TO OPEN A CERTAIN PDF ON MY PHONE

:)

 

Attaching a document from SkyDrive as to a Windows Phone email

OK...

I've never been able to do this. Here are the steps:

• Open a new outgoing email on my Windows phone
• Choose the paperclip "Attach" icon
• This opens up a window to "Choose Picture"
• It does not allow me to choose documents from my SkyDrive

I can go into SkyDrive and choose to share a document through email. However:

• this does not allow me to attach multiple documents, and
• it does not allow me to attach a document when I'm responding to another email in an existing thread.

These are real limitations.

Also, PDF documents are treated differently still. They are harder to attach.

I should be able to attach any document originating from an email.

Thanks. I hope that helps.

 

Copying documents onto the phone?

Hello,

Check out this How-To (FAQ) regarding
How to Sync Office Documents on WP7 - there is a section discussing how to do it if you do not have access to Sharepoint. Or read below the copy and paste of the steps.

Here are some ways that you get Microsoft Office documents onto your phone:

• 
  •
  Attach an Office document to an email message and send it to yourself. You can thendownload the attached Office document
  on your phone.
  
• 
  •
  From your PC, upload the Office document to Windows Live SkyDrive, and then from your phone, download it using the web browser. You can then open the document in the appropriate Office Mobile application.
  

Note
Microsoft Office documents can't be synced directly from your computer to your phone using a USB connection.
