I have no problem with Dropbox, Google Photos, Google Drive, and/or We Transfer.

My experience indicates no sign in is necessary with Shutterfly. I have used it to share photos with family and friends for over 15 years. I just checked and that still works without sign in.

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?
Facebook is easy and ubiquitous but it reduces the photo size to fit its standard and reduces the image quality in the process.

I use Dropbox. No creating of an account by the recipient is necessary. They just uses the link you send them in email to access their photos. Easy peasy.

If you use Lightroom, you can set up a collection, click the button on the top of the screen to make the collection public, then send the link out to those who you want to view it

My solution is easy. Every Friday I send "my photos of the week" to everyone on my email contact list (some 200). they are well received, get many comments and even sold several to friends who wanted prints.

I'm not surprised. Everyone wants you to sign in and open account.
I use Google Photos, and that works fine without anyone having to sign in.

I also use We Transfer. As far as I know the people who get the images do not need to set up an account.

Seems this post discussing how and wyo to resize your online (digital) posts to 2048px on the long-side was written for you. This size was the 2018 max for FB to not have the images resized. Read it. Understand it. Use it.

Dropbox does work. All the OP needs to do is create a link to the folder, then send the link to whoever wishes to view the images. No Dropbox acct needed.

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.
While you can transfer large files with WeTransfer, I don't believe that it is possible to view photos before downloading.

Some of us want the recipient to have full size images. If I want to send a reduced image I do it to that image. I never reduce my images unless there's a real reason to do so. The OP specifically says "I don't want the site to truncate the photos to a smaller size."
Admittedly, sharing on Facebook is probably a good reason to reduce an image. Not only because Facebook will do it anyway, but because you might not want all your shared images out in the public domain at full resolution.

I tried that and the client needed to sign it. If yu already have a DropBox account you will automatically be logged in and will appear to you as no login is required. But if you don't have DropBox account you will need to create one.
