How to Insert an Image Inline in Gmail


  • Make sure rich text editing is turned on in the Gmail message you are composing and Insert images is enabled.
    • If you see a Rich formatting » link above your message's text editor, click it.
    • See below for turning on image insertion.
  • Drag and drop the image from its folder to the desired position in the message.
    • In Google Chrome, you can also paste the image at the desired location in the email from the clipboard using Control-V (Windows, Linux) or Command-V (Mac).
    To use an image you found on the web, or to upload from your computer if dragging and dropping does not work:
    • Position the text cursor where you want the image to appear.
    • Click the Insert Image button in the message's formatting toolbar.
    • To upload an image from your computer:
      • Make sure My Computer is selected.
      • Click Choose File and open the desired graphic.
      • You can click Choose File again to add another image while others are already uploading in the background.
      • Make sure the desired image is highlighted.
    • To use an image located on the web:
      • Make sure Web address (URL) is selected.
      • Enter the image's URL under Image URL.
    • Click Add Image.
    Images you have uploaded from your computer remain available in the Insert Image dialog while you compose the message (but not for other emails).
    After insertion, you can resize and move images easily.

    Advantages of NTFS over FAT filesystem.

    NTFS is New Technology File System , which has several advantages over the old one FAT.Some of them are the following.

    1) Security

    FAT32 provides very little security. A user with access to a drive using FAT32 has access to the files on that drive.
    NTFS allows the use of NTFS Permissions. It's much more difficult to implement, but folder and file access can be controlled individually, down to an an extreme degree if necessary. The down side of using NTFS Permissions is the chance for error and screwing up the system is greatly magnified.
    2) Compatibility

    NTFS volumes are not recognized by Windows 95/98/Me. This is only a concern when the system is set up for dual or multi-booting. FAT32 must be be used for any drives that must be accessed when the computer is booted from Windows 95/98 or Windows Me.
    FAT and FAT32 volumes can be converted to NTFS volumes. NTFS cannot be converted to FAT32 without reformatting.
    3) Space Efficiency

    NTFS supports disk quotas, allowing you to control the amount of disk usage on a per user basis.
    NTFS supports file compression. FAT32 does not.

    4) Reliability


    FAT32 drives are much more susceptible to disk errors.
    NTFS volumes have the ability to recover from errors more readily than similar FAT32 volumes.
    Log files are created under NTFS which can be used for automatic file system repairs.
    NTFS supports dynamic cluster remapping for bad sectors and prevent them from being used in the future.

    How to check that your drive is NTFS?

    1) Start--->Computer
    2) Right Click on the drive to check
    3) Take properties. There you can see "filesystem: NTFS". It shows that your drive is formatted with NTFS.

    If it is FAT, you can convert into NTFS, without losing your data.That information will be there in the next blog.
