Pic host recommendation

[St_Eve]

Hi folks,
I am looking for a FAMILY FRIENDLY host to share my vacation pics with my family.
The common ones used here have pop ups and ads that would not be acceptable to sent to my parents. etc
Any ideas?
Thanks!

P.S. I have 900+ photos @ 5.6 GB

If your family is anything like mine you'll have a variety of technophobe skill levels to cater for. Some options may be:

- for the oldies who may have a tablet/laptop/desktop pc but little online experience, send them a usb stick (format it first to get rid of any bloatware etc). Plenty of skinny form-factor 8Gb sticks out there that don't take up much space in an envelope.

- for the more online tech savvy, load your pics up to a cloudshare service (icloud if they have ipads/iphones).

- I used to use flickr a lot but now you can only upload a limited amount of pics before getting the "please buy flickrpro"

- a well-worded google search should yield a heap of other options for you too.

Another alternative is: Google

If you have a Google account, you can use Google Drive cloud storage; which allows your first 15GB free!

One way to do this...

1.) @5.6 GB you may want to create two separate .zip files with your photos.

- Create a folder in Google Drive ("My Drive".)

- Upload your .zip files.

- Click on link sharing and share the link with your family members.

OR...

2.) Create a folder in Google Drive ("My Drive".)

- upload your photos the way they are.

- Click on link sharing and share the link with your family members.

3.) You can also use: Google Albums; and add up to 20,000 photos!

You can try 'wetransfer' at https://wetransfer.com/

It's a free service and there are no popups. I have used it to transfer multiple files, but I find it best to zip the files first when there are a large number to send.

My first thought was Dropbox but it is limited to 2 GB before asking to upgrade!

I will give these a try.

Thanks everyone!

If it is family friendly content, doesn't your ISP or mobile phone provider offer a hosting service?

Open a free Mega.nz account and upload, then send your family the gallery links. Pics can be zoomed into, scrolled through etc.
