I share them from my phone to Google Drive under the heading of "Shop Projects". I then select the picture an right click download. When I go to post...

This makes me wonder, how do you bend a plane iron?

May not be what you want to hear but ply that has been under stress (bowing) for ten years may resist an effort to bring back to plumb. I would redo...
