• OT sharing photos or videos

    From hubops@ccanoemail.ca@21:1/5 to All on Fri Jan 1 17:22:33 2021
    Hi All ;
    Sorry for the off-topic - but I thought I'd try here.

    I wish to create an online album to which I can upload
    photos and small video clips - then send a simple web link
    <with or without password> to family/friends to view.

    The commercial web sites seem to require - not only the Host -
    but also the viewer to register with personal info and/or email
    address - that's what I'd like to avoid.

    I'm not too concerned with security - these are mostly old
    black & white family photos.

    Also - I'm not a smart-phone user - just PC - so I think
    that cloud-apps would not suit me <?>

    Any helpful suggestions are appreciated.
    John T.

    Good luck. It's not too bad considering it's free and anyone can view uploads. --

    Flickr do not require the viewer to register. Still offer free account
    for the poster.
