I want the iPad Pro to replace a computer so bad, but I just signed a PDF in Gmail, Gmail needed to save the file to Files, but can’t attach files *from* Files, so I had to download Google Drive and export the file from Files to Google Drive so Gmail can find it. 🤦‍♂️

and after all that, Gmail sent a Google Drive link in the email instead of actually attaching the file. Thanks.

I worry a lot that my intense comfort level with “normal computers” will become a crutch as I get older and prevent me from fully embracing the new paradigm. But also I have to get work done…

Of course you can attach files from Files in Gmail. headworx.slupik.com/2020/03/…

Yeah it turns out it was a new feature they were rolling out slowly and it wasn't available to me yet.

The irony is I actually vastly prefer editing photos in Lightroom on the iPad compared to a computer now.

These sound like Google limitations.

I mean it's google not playing by apple's rules so I'm not really sure who's more at fault here

Totally agree about the iPad in general, but I’m pretty sure that specific case is handled in the gmail app - tap the paperclip, then the folder icon under attachments

I don’t know what UI you’re referring to, but I don’t see anything like that in mine.
