Sharing Photos
Sep 17, 2022 18:09:33 #
Recently, I photographed an event as a favor to my lady friend, I shared the images on my Amazon account thinking that they would be accessible by sharing a link to my shared account. The images are accessible but the viewer must sign in to their Amazon account or create a free account if they don't already have an account. Several people have stated that they don't want to create an account with Amazon even if free. I can understand this since many people want to limit being exposed on the internet. The same holds true for Dropbox and Shutterfly. I tried to use my Adobe account but any images that are downloaded are png files. While this would not be a problem for us Hoggers it is a problem for those that are computer challenged.
So my question is, "Do any of you know of a free site where I can share images without people having to log in or create an account?" The other requirement is that I want to be able to load images at their original size. I don't want the site to truncate the photos to a smaller size.

I use One Drive for sharing stuff.
Free, but limited storage (5Gb). ≈1,000 photos at 5Meg/photo.
You can provide a link that will go directly to the album, restrict/allow editing of the album.
Last I knew, they don't need a One Drive login to view the album.
Depends on how much storage you need for the files......

If you shoot with Nikon, check out Nikon Image Space. You would need a 'free' account, but viewers shouldn't need one. I'm not sure of your other requirements.
There's a link in my signature.

Flickr is free to 1000 images and you can share a link to the album and / or a slideshow. When you have a paid account, your guests also are not presented with advertising.

5GB would be more than what I need. Thanks.

Dropbox is another possibility.
Doesn't work with DROPBOX, the OP says. But might with WeTransfer. I'm pretty sure I opened stuff on this before I had an account.

You can send a link to a Dropbox file and the recipient does not need an account.

If your friends and family don't want to use Amazon, wetransfer and dropbox are probably even less likely to be successful ... Why aren't they just on Facebook?

Check these out ... some have been mentioned
Flickr - 1,000 image limit
500px - 21 uploads a week and no limit on the quantity I know of
Google Photos - essentially unlimited - I keep shared photos to 680 and 1040 pixels
Amazon Prime photos - I think this works but I am exploring
Adobe ... I have used Spark and Portfolio in the past - not recently
Top free sites for sharing photos check out and search fixthephoto(dot)com/photo-sharing-sites.html
