I am the unofficial photographer for my daughter's soccer and track teams. Currently, I have a FB page set up where parents can look at the photos I took. But not everyone is on FB. What other ways can I share photos?

The Adobe CC subscription includes two sharing methods I use. One is a website like "Portfolio". The other is called a "Web Gallery". It doesn't matter what your viewers have to look at them with.

I can post an example of the simple web gallery if you like.

If you like "slideshows", you can use YouTube. Everything can view YouTube, including a lot of TVs.

Send low res images to the coach of the soccer and track team. They have a master email list and can send them out for you. That would be my approach.

Get the email addresses of all interested parties. Then, use Dropbox to share the photos.

I post photos to my Flickr account; then they may be downloaded at high resolution. Of course, they now have a 1000-photo limit on free accounts. The unlimited 'Pro' account is $50 per year.

I have a public FB page for my photography. The nice thing is, you don't have to "have" FB to see them.

If you provide the images for free I would set up a Smugmug account, let the people from the event go on the account and allow them to download the images for free. That makes it easy for everyone. You can also set up a password for each event if you want. If you want to sell the images you can set up a storefront as well. This is also another way to showcase other event's you shoot. You can set no right-hand click so they can't download and only view.

Smugmug has worked great for me as well as my clients saving us both time and no need to print and send images out. Just one of many other options.

Good Luck

Print them and hand them out. Not only are some people not of FB but some people are not on computers! In today's world you cannot reach everyone, don't try. Home to me is in a mostly agrarian region. Very few residents are able to stay in their homes and connect to the net. The few public libraries are busy all day with locals checking on their e-mail. It is not a pretty way of life, experience tells me so. Use caution when excluding someone b/c they can't get something on-line. There are still many places in the USA where internet access is taken for granted. For these reasons you will need to get photos to the kids, and hopefully the prints will find their way home. Even that method presents challenges. Good luck.

I use OneDrive. Drop Box is similar.

I belong to Brazos River Corvette Club and I'm the one that keeps all the photos posted and organized. If at anytime one wants to see what has happened they can follow the same link and get to all the sorted pictures. I will give you the link to our Smug Mug site and see how it is organized. Simple to use, have been using it for several years. If anyone want to download one or all pictures thay can at any time. You can view an event as indvidual pictures or as a slide show.

No matter what solution you pick (the free option from Flickr is a good way to go), be sure to adjust the image resolution / quality as described in this post. Your friends / family will appreciate the time saved by accessing smaller files that still look great when viewed online. https://www.uglyhedgehog.com/t-512745-1.html

Web gallery? How do you access that?

Thanks everyone. Plenty of options to explore.

Google drive. Use a folder for each game, and there’s an option to send invitations (with a link to the folder) to everyone you need to share with.

You can start in Classic and "sync" a collection to "cloud" into an "Album". In "cloud" right click and pick "View on Web" or "Copy Link".

This is a 12 shot "Web Gallery" by using "Copy Link" after taking my camera on a walk near Phoenix. https://adobe.ly/2ETIedP

Obviously the link can be emailed, posted, etc.

I like it because it is easy to share, controllable and managed from Classic and has a clean interface.
