How do you share photos

I use Smugmug for sharing lots of photos. Facebook for ones and twos. I really like my Smugmug site as a semi-permanent repository for my favorite pictures.

UHH and 2 additional photographic web sites, my personal web site, and an occasional post to facebook.

I have various collections of photos. I would like to invite friends to look at them. Some are PowerPoints with music. I do not want to sell them. What is the best way to do this.

A free “blog” site on Google Blogger is an excellent option for hosting your images for free. You drag and drop straight from your computer to your blog page.

When I had a lot of photos to share (family archives project with many cousins) I used my free photo storage which I get as an Amazon Prime member. It allows you to upload photos of any size into albums you can share access to by simply copying a link and then emailing it to those you want to share with.
The "any size" can be a problem if like me you, or someone in your target audience have a slow internet connection. I now routinely take a picture into photoshop and use the "image" dropdown menu to (a) change mode to 8-bit color if it's 16, (b) change the size to 72dpi. Then I save as a .jpg file and drop it down to about 300-400 Kb. This size image is very easy to share via email, social media, text, etc. and is fine for screening.

The 75 dpi has nothing to do with viewing on a computer screen. That is for printing.
For viewing make the long side around 1920 pixels, at about 65-70% quality. The idea is to set the size to be viewed full width. This is easily done in light room.

My understanding is that 72 dpi is about the right density for viewing on screens, just as 240-300 works for printers.

I simply use Image Resizer power toy add-on for Windows.
Small, medium, large, or custom. Pouf, it's done.

I think that 72 DPI is for web graphics, for thumbnail images to be used on a web page.
For photo sharing you want higher resolution than 72 DPI so that the image occupies more of the screen.

Yes. So 3 x 5 image @ 72 DPI = 216 x 360 pixels. It's a small image.

I use Google photos for extended family pics. I post my best 'prosumer' photos on Flikr and share them with family and friends. And the best of each meet-up outing are posted on the meet-up website.
