I prefer Gmail over Mail for iMac

I don't want the Mail application to be the email client for your Gmail account. I don't like the interface, I simply want Gmail to be the option when I hit the share button for my photos. I seem to not have any problems with this on my iPhone...


Why is this so difficult?

iMac 21.5″, macOS 11.6

Or... You can make your Gmail account the default account in the Mac's Apple Mail app (here is a link to an article describing the steps). If you do that it will then be the default address the Pictures app, etc will use to forward photos, etc. In fact you can add multiple email accounts to the Apple Mai app, but only one can be the default email account.
