Attachments are handled from within each respective application, as iPad does not really have an exposed file system. There is not currently an option for multiple email attachments.

Hey,

Surprised to know that people don't know the way to do it. Its been pretty easy for me though. I use free app named iZip. Just put your files in izip through emails, dropbox and many otherways using "Open in". Once your files are in iZip, select the files you want to send. Click email. It will ask if you want to zip files or send without compressing. Select without compress. And your email is ready to send. Pretty easy dtuff. Hope this helps. Have fun emailing. :)

Thanks for the work arounds, but I consider adding multiple attachments (of different formats), on an email reply ( not just new), is one of the most basic expected features, which should be available by default in any device that promises easy access to Internet.

I strongly feel this should be included in APple products without asking or requiring extra effort.

It is extremely difficult to trust new Apple IPad mini on the go if alternative solutions for basic functionalities require separate installations.

While I am disappointed, I hope Apple would consider working towards providing such expected features that can make life easier.

Hi, For any of you who have been looking for ways to attach files when replying or forwarding a mail.


There is a new App available - Called "Email Reply".

https://itunes.apple.com/US/app/id780069308?mt=8


It is pretty basic, but it supports POP and IMAP and major email accounts such as Google mail, Yahoo mail, Microsoft Hotmail, iCloud mails etc. For you company accounts, as long as you know your POP and IMAP settings, then it would work for you.


I tried attach several files in a email reply, and it worked just what many of you wished a iPad could do.


Another nice thing is that you could open multiple email accounts at once or open multiple attached files at once in a browser like user interface.


And it supports cloud, Wifi, Open in as well, so you could get files in and out easily. I am a small business owner, it works for me well. I could manage all my email accounts in this App. I have a sense that this App would evolve over time.

mhadi813... Somehow you've overlooked that this is an iOS discussion not MacOS.


Update on my post from a couple of years ago - still using Good Reader, a most versatile app that I think is best regarded as a file manager. You can access files stored on your device or in the cloud.


I directly export files (text/image/audio/video) to Good Reader from any App that supports the "open-in" feature. Apps that don't have this nice function, I can export to Dropbox and import via GR. Then in Good Reader I use "manage files" to select as many files as I'd like and attach them to an email. Can send group emails.


If you use iPad/iPhone as part of your workflow and are producing many documents, it's worthwhile just getting into the habit of exporting all your completed docs and filing them in Good Reader, I find that clearing out anything that doesn't require further editing frees up the working capacity of the App. And what is there not to like about a logical filing system?

On my iPhone and iPad I use the excellent app called "Documents 5 by Readdle" It acts as a file manager and PDF reader, but much more. I can link it to DropBox, I can save all sorts of documents in it and when I need to mail multiple attachments, I just click "Edit" then select/tick the files I want to send and then click on the "Mail to.." menu. All the files are attached in a message ready to be sent. No need to zip anything!


If you want to send multiple files from DropBox. You have to first download them through this app to its own storage area and then from there you can email them.


I highly recommend it. It is very well-designed and well-rated.

For your photos, you can easily send multiple by going to the camera roll, selecting all the pictures you want to sent and and using the share button located at the top left to send via email. For any other documents, I use an app call Documents by Readdle. It can access several of the online storage platforms like dropbox, google drive, etc. Using this app, you can send multiple documents via email.

Though this is a workaround, I still believe that apple has to find a way around this as all the solutions including this one are not very convenient
