How do I simply forward an email without the new hassle?

[iMore Question]

I've got lots of external drives for backing stuff up and I don't want iCloud and have my stuff "out there".

Could you please elaborate? I'm not sure I understand what you're asking. What hassle?

 

[keity]

Please make it elaborate.

I've got lots of external drives for backing stuff up and I don't want iCloud and have my stuff "out there".

What "new" hassle are you referring to? If you don't want "iCloud" and to have your "stuff out there", sign out of iCloud and don't use it again. Having said that, you do realize that whenever you send and receive email, your stuff is "out there", right?

What does forwarding an email have to do with iCloud?

Rephrase:- How do I simply forward an email without involving Google Drive and iCloud? When I try, I get "This Drive file isn't shared with the recipient". This is a new hassle, How do I just forward an email as I was able to do until recently?

Probably or certainly nothing. I am being bludgeoned into using / getting involved with iCloud and Google Drive and I cannot simply forward emails. A fix would be appreciated. Thanks.

In the mail app, I just tap the forward arrow and hit "Forward", then add the address and hit send. What's all the iCloud and Google about?

Well now, wasn't that fun?

I thought so! More like "challenging".

This sounds like a GMail issue.

Thanks SwitchBeach. Despite the other demonstrations of superior knowledge at least we avoided "And your point is?" and "Google is your friend".

Well, the OP was pretty obscure and didn't provide much (any) detail.

And I did find that thread by simply Googling that error message that you eventually provided. So ....
