Sending photos online

[James306]

I have done some photography for someone ove in France, and now it comes to sending the photos he would prefer I send them online. What filesharing websites do people use/recomend?

I have used the likes of Rapidshare etc for recieving files but never sharing.

I use Flickr (pro a/c) which I find very good as you can use a batch uploader with the pro account.

You can also download any size pics from Flickr.

The only possible downside is you need a Yahoo account.

You can also load smaller pics onto Facebook if you both have an account.

Problem is I have around 50 photos I have put into a .rar file totalling about 180mb, I don't want them on show to the public. I wanted to use something like rapidshare (trying now but not uploading any time soon) so I can just email him the link to download them.

I use Dropbox (http://www.dropbox.com/). Free (2Gb restriction), fast, and file management is painless.

It's handy when you want to keep the photos private (rather than using Flickr etc). It creates a separate folder in MyDocuments and you just drag things in there and it uploads at its own pace. No need to hang around waiting.

I have my own hosting, so just create directories and upload as needed.

Check out mediafire

Another vote for Dropbox here.

DropBox rocks! I use it with all my clients

Why not just send them as attachments to an email?

I have a feeling them taking up 180mb in a .rar file might be the restriction with mailing them

I ended up just posting them by CD in the end, but if this becomes a refular occurance I shall look into some server space

I use skydrive (~part of wondows live/msn)... 25Gb of space! No problems with it thus far!

Megaupload is fast and free. It has a 1GB limit per file.

Make sure you password protect the rar thou when sending anything online.

Another vote for dropbox. Upload your files then invite who you need to via email and then they can download them.

Server space would be ideal

Yousendit.com works well. But the free version only have a 100mb limit and you can only send one file as a time so you need to put your images in a zipped folder if sending multiple.
