You can upload them to either Amazon Prime or Google Photos and send a link.

I upload large files to Google Drive then share the link with whomever I wish to share these files. This is also a good way to share executable files which would otherwise be blocked if sent as an email attachment

Another source is to send them via wetransfer.com and send a link. You don't even have to register to use wetransfer.com, and they will send an email to the recipient that the downloads is available for seven days, and will also send you an email when the batch has been downloaded by the recipient.

For $5.00/mo I've been using Smugmug.com Unlimited size and # of photos. You can opt for public access or restrict access by issuing a link to particular shots or gallery. If you sell photos, the site allows you to set prices for a nominal additional monthly fee ... like $10.00 / mo. They also allow users to order thru their print service for magnets, books, cups, prints etc. You can link the galleries to Facebook and other social media if you want. It's nice storing a 20-50mb shot so customers can directly download etc. I share with parents of High School sports teams (free) but I could decide to sell the shots and they have the option of prints without bothering me. Very Satisfied. There are several site like this and a bit of research will give fit you to your personal needs. If your interested in seeing my public galleries the link is below ... I only ask they not be sold for commercial profit. School use, personal use fine ... free. I post a lot of shots to give parents / kids a photo or two in each game regardless if it's not perfect. One good aspect is this serves as a off site personal storage and is accessible from any device and any location. I use my phone, iopad and any computer to access my photos.

I use wetransfer.com They allow you to send files up to 2 gigs in size at no charge. Just simply "zip" them up and upload it to wetransfer. They will notify your recipient and let him download the large files at his convenience.

I share about about five thousand images annually to an international mailing list I have who are people who like my work and look forward to seeing new pictures at the end of each week. The problem for me has been exactly the question of how to send them. Many of my recipients also have 10 MB limits to attachments.

One way to solve the problem without really doing much is to have those who are restricted to open a Hotmail or Gmail account, both of those allow 25 MB attachments but alas many of my own fans are seniors and many barely know how to turn their computers on never mind figuring out how to create a new email account and then accessing it weekly. On occasion I have had a person with a 3 MB limit to attachments, those I do recommend a Gmail account, I draw the line at 10 MB attachments as the maximum.

Another possible solution I tried was to embed images in an email. I would downsize the images to four by six inches, 96 pixels per inch and jpg quality of about 40%. That gets people good looking pictures in their emails but not with enough pixels to make a good print or to take a good copy. This worked for me for quite a while and my fan base loved it since they didn't have to do anything but open the email. The problem, and subsequent complaints, was that they couldn't save the pictures. They were actually saving each email which didn't make sense. So I needed to send out a file that they could save.

Eventually my solution to this problem was a PDF presentation file. Adobe Acrobat has a capability to package .jpg files into a slide show. Photoshop CS3 has the same capability but later versions of the program do not, Adobe removed that feature when they upgraded to CS4.You can package as many slides as you like, it really depends on how big they all are and how you do it. In my case I instruct Adobe to create the smallest file size for my presentation. That enables me to send out as many as fifty images and still stay below the 10 MB limit. Of course it's not always that simple, it does depend on the size of the original files too. Typically I seem to run about twenty to forty images while still staying under ten MB.

So what are the benefits? Well first of all this is a great way to serve technophobes You don't need to know anything, just double click on the file name I sent and say "yes" when it asks you if you want it full screen and the show begins. Adobe reader is the engine, that's what opens the file and presents it. The file changes slides every five seconds and it allows you to navigate forward and backward using the mouse buttons or the arrow keys. When they're ready to quit all they have to so is press Escape. What could be simpler? What's nice too is that I don't have to worry about the pictures being stolen. You can cut and paste the images if you like but there's not enough data there to give you a good print or to allow you to do an effective edit.

I seem to recall both Lightroom and Photoshop Elements are capable of creating slide shows too. That might be another solution to the question but I've never tried it.

Reduce the size in PSE or one of the other programmes. If viewed on screen, nobody will be able to tell the difference

I have a Western Digital Cloud. I can create logins for customers, upload the images I have for them and then they can go into their "area" and download or look at the images. There is no size limit (other than the total size of my WD Cloud drives) so it works great. The smallest "cloud" drive is about 3TB and is roughly $150. The "My Cloud" drive chassis also has a USB3 connection to attach an additional USB3 (or USB2) drive to the cloud (my additional drive is a 1TB drive. All you need from there is an internet router connection for the WD My Cloud drive (note: it should be the same router and or network that your computer(s) are on for speed of uploading. Customers or friends that are downloading from it will have speeds dependent on their internet providers. I have a large "My Cloud" consisting of several 5TB drives in a "My Cloud" chassis. I also have a "My Cloud" app for my cell phone allowing me to upload to/download from or view anything on the cloud from my phone. All I have to worry about is making sure that my internet is up and running and that the WD My Cloud is on. WD also downloads updates for the "My Cloud" .
One thing I really like about it is that I can add users and images and delete users after they viewed or downloaded their images. Typically, I use this for customers to "preview" their images before I print or put them onto a DVD or other media. However, I also use it for family and relatives to download pics of events etc. This way, the only size restriction is available space in my cloud.

I use Paintshop Pro (now X9)

I resize to 1920x1272 and then click on export to jpg with 30 percent compression.

A photo at 2.06MB turns into 404KB with very little loss. Easily sent in email.
