Posting pictures for this NG

I use Dropbox, its free and no advertising.

And I think Zen only provide this on legacy accounts. There's no free webspace with the account I opened last year.

Goodness!

I've had my ADSL account with them since 2011.

Still, I expect it's dead cheap now to acquire web space elsewhere.

Aaarrrrgh! Dropbox! (Makes signs of the devil incarnate...)

My neice posted pictures of her wedding on Dropbox, so of course I had to install it just to view the pix. Three days later (I exaggerate a tad...) I perused the pix. This after Dropbox had installed just about every file known to man or woman on my PC. I believe the frickin Net Framework was involved in it, too.

So I watched the pictures, then I scrapped Dropbox. Never again!

You can look at individual files that someone has shared in dropbox from the web site, you don't need to install the client locally.

The client is primarily designed for when you want to fully synchronise a complete dropbox account between machines, or share content yourself with others.

From their help page:

"Share a link to a file or folder

When you share a link with someone, they can view the file or folder on dropbox.com. You can send a link by email, Facebook, Twitter, instant message, social networks, wherever you want. You can share these links with anyone, even if they don't have a Dropbox account.

The link opens as a preview on dropbox.com, and recipients can comment on the file."

This was several years ago. As far as I recall I had to install Dropbox in order to see her wedding pictures. I did ask whether there was another way. I can't remember if this 'share link' method was available in 2013.

Do what I do with wedding photos.

Just tell her that she looked beautiful without even bothering to look at the photos.

Heh heh! I wouldn't have had to lie, either. She did. She looked stunning. The wedding was in France where she and hubby live, but I couldn't go as I was recuperating after my then recent 3x heart bypass op.
