I share my images mainly with an old friend. Family seldom asks to see images from my Nikon holiday trips...HO HUM!
I mostly show my photos to those who know a good photo from a poor one and have at least a little interest in photography. That's not many. So the dozen members of my small photo club get to see our work projected on a TV screen at our monthly meetings. Our photos are also shown in slideshow format on TVs in the retirement center social lounges, and some are hung framed in the hallways. Residents stop us to say how much they like our photos. That's the best, even though I know they're just going out of their way to be supportive like I am supportive of the painters, quilters and other amateur and experienced artisans whose work is displayed throughout the residence buildings.

I share my photos via Dropbox links. Google Photos works also. And I make flash drives for backups and sharing .
Ah! Bubbe! I tried using the many years ago. It was too much work for me. I would rather eat a lemon meringue pie with chopsticks
I’m going to try this trick. If it works I will probably ramp up the innards of the miniature laptop.

You could get a Shutterfly account and create albums to you send a link to family and friends who want to see your images. I have found to very handy especially when I am traveling.

If sticks are the only thing available, I will use sticks for lemon meringue pie!

You can still send them to Walmart or Costco or somewhere and get the best ones printed out, so you can still show them to your friends. Then where to store all those prints.......

You could do what I have done. I now have a disk station attached to my computer that is online. I give access to it to friends and family. They can even post pictures as well.

What is a disk station and how is it on line?

All these are great ideas for sharing images with others in the realm of the present. What about sharing with our descendants of future generations? I am not talking about countless inane captures, but more substantive images of our lives. How many of us have old photographs of our parents and grandparents and even great grandparents and even of the homes they lived in and the cars they drove and many other aspects of their lives? Will our grandchildren and beyond have photographs from us showing them what we looked like and how we lived?

That is what it used to be called. Most now call it a Network Attached Storage (NAS) device. Mine is a Synology.

This leads up to the Camera Vs. Smartphone ongoing discussion...
I take Camera photos on my Nikon D3100 and they are often used for documentary purposes.
My SHARED photos are often the ones I take on my Samsung S21 5G Smartphone.
Just open the picture and SHARE.

I'm wondering what format Scruples (Mr. Bad Habit) is sending. If size is a problem, saving the photos in JPEG format is not usually too massive to send. Maybe sending too many will be too much. Sending 3 of the best, or meaningful photos, would be ok. I've never seen 3 photos jamb up a transmission. People love to get photos, but they don't necessarily have the capacity, either physically, or mentally to peruse too many photos.
Good luck in your endeavors to solve your "problem". It could be worst-you wouldn't have any relatives to send them to. Flyer

A great tip. I never guessed that the size format would hamper uploading and downloading images. DUH! I am trying this new strategy. Even though the Netbook is outdated for 10+ years it seems to be working. I thought about increasing the memory and the hard drive. It would cost about $150-$200. I could buy a new one for about $400.
The photos have transferred to a USB Flash drive very nicely. I also picked up a multi memory card reader for $10.
