Your Dropbox experience

I use DropBox and, like the other responses, think it is a great way to save, access from multiple devices, back-up and share photos. But you mention that you are "tasked with sharing my photos for just viewing or downloading and printing". For this type of use, I often load the pictures (jpeg) into Shutterfly. You can create a link, send it to others. Then they can view and print as needed. No software has to be downloaded. Not everyone has the skill or the desire to use DropBox, especially in my family. I just try to Keep It Simple.

Suggest you look at WeTransfer. All the family member need to do is open an email and click on a link. Easy Peasy
I also use and concur, Easy Peasy.

I am a retired Info Tech geek and have used Dropbox since its inception. My use of it has evolved from simple file storage to a shared environment with my wife, who is a clinical social worker with TONS of documents etc., in addition to personal photos. She is a Luddite and even she finds Dropbox simple to use.
It's power comes from it's seamless integration into any filing system DNA. I have not found another product to match it.

Yes, but a zip file can easily still be larger than 25 megabytes--the limit that I can send in one email message (I use AOL, but I don't think that other email programs allow for a much larger size than 25 MB.)
The whole point of Dropbox is so that you don't need to send a zip file.
