Any input would be greatly appreciated!!

I usually email my clients with a very small file. But, if the INSIST on an alternative, I will but these VERY SMALL FILES on a flash drive with my logo all over them.

Daddybear,
Thank you for the great suggestion of having a logo imprinted on the thumb drive! Do you recall where you had them made?

I use a flash drive to deliver all our "stuff" to the editors we work with. The cost of mailing a Priority Mail Envelop is more expensive than the price of a flash drive. Take care & ..

Flash drive. It’s 2018, not 1998.
Dropbox I believe is faster. This being as you say 2018.

Flash drive.
And, if you plan to do this ever again, you might search around for a company that would print your logo and/or business name on the drive so you get some advertising thrown in. You would probably have to buy a bunch of them to get a good price so if this is just a one-off thing, forget it.

If you can talk to customer into electronic delivery, use Dropbox.
Otherwise, I use thumb drives - universally accepted and easy to mail.

Wondering, does using Dropbox or other internet options provide same quality as a DVD or other hard media?

Yes - no degradation in image quality

I used to use DVDs, but now flash memory is super cheap, so that is what I use. For most shoots, I give the model the unedited JPEGS and RAW files, plus the ones that have been edited.

Flash drives are very cheap these days, and also the most portable option. As others have stated, most devices today do not come with CD/DVD readers as the march to see who can make the thinnest device leaves no room for them.

If it's that few pictures use the free service wetransfer.com and they can download them to their computer.

Honestly, Dropbox is the professional way. You set up a folder, give the client access for downloading. They get an email from Dropbox under your name and they can d/l them whenever they want. I leave shares up for a few weeks, or as long as a project lasts. And, these are copies of images, not the originals.
