I would agree with PJ - check out Dropbox to see if it meets your needs.

1. Well... strictly speaking it's a service that I am looking for, but in a way so that it's a commodity... I'd like to ask if some PDMLers might have some suggestions for something that I am not aware of. I am looking for a free photo-hosting service that we allow two things: (1) convenient viewing and (2) private sharing via private URLs of photos taken by my daughter with the family member. And, potentially displaying some selected photos publicly. In principle, a free Flickr account could be sufficient. ... but Flickr now requires using a cell-phone number to activate a new Yahoo account, and it refuses to accept a Google-voice number that I am using if I am forced to share my cell phone number. I've just learned about "Thislife" [now] by Shutterfly. But I cannot figure out if there it is possible to create galleries that can be shared via a private URL, while keeping all photos private otherwise. Has anybody tried them? 2. While searching for possible solutions, I was ... not surprised, but in a way amused by what some pundits write. I well realize that I am far from a "main-stream" user of many things, especially when it concerns pop-culture related to modern technologies. But even with that in mind, ... E.g. http://beebom.com/2015/08/flickr-alternatives : "While it does offer unlimited uploads, Google Photos compresses your images if they exceed the 16 MP mark. That would be a bit disappointment for professional photographers looking to upload high-res images to this network." While I see somebody using some cloud storage as a backup or online storage tool, but not for sharing purposes. Maybe it's just me, - but I am not seeing any professional photographer "looking to upload [more than 16MP images] to this network". I wonder what other PDMLers think. Cheers, Igor
