I wish to send 50+ photographs to another individual here in the UK.

What would be your preferred method of doing so?

Thanks.

you’re an idiot.

there are multiple ways.

1 FTP. Set up a FTP site. You could use the original, nor secure, protiocol
or either of two secure protocols

2 HTTP. Set up a HTTP site. You could use the original, not secure, protocol
or the secure protocol.

3 iCloud. Set up iCloud at both ends. Use one of three possible transfer
methods. Google is your friend.

4 DropBox/GoogleDrive/OneDrive/other 3rd party cloud. All worthwhile 3rd
party clouds have ways to send and/or receive files. Google is your friend.

Pick one. Those not idiots would have been able to start sending files in a
shorter time than you took to type your post. (Hint: sending files with
iCloud, DropBox, GoogleDrive, or OneDrive literally takes seconds, including
prep time. And if you can’t figure out what preparations you should make
you’re even stupider than I thought you were.)

Dropbox, Google Drive, Microsoft One drive.

Copy the photos up, make the folder you copied to readable by anyone, get a
link to the folder and send the link by e-mail.

Mixcoatl can only rationalize from the perspective of a psychopath.

Carroll has a heap of insight to demonstrate and he wishes to write tutorials.
Unfortunately, this is perhaps the least appropriate place for doing that
because the majority of response is wailing, double-crossing, and other bunkum.

The encryption is real, its presence at any point in time being on your
VLC installer is a false negative. Carroll has been over this, in excruciating
detail previously, Mixcoatl. Mixcoatl has yet to show how Kit Scenarist does
anything above the lowest common denominator on Linux. For crying out loud,
just recently Mixcoatl was declaring himself the only "true Linux advocate",
and claiming that "advocates" (in irony-quotes) are trying to make Linux
become like the Mac.

What I notice is, when I've met people calling themselves "progressives"
while sky diving, they weren't the usual ninny sort that likes to whine about
this and that. Why are such herds obviously never happy... WTF is up with
that?

Thank you, David.

Can /you/ view the images here?

https://www.dropbox.com/sh/anfabql00yqhh3d/AADkmpRh-LZGTSACJy6Ah9ZDa?dl=0

I hope so!

I'd not thought of that, John. But it would, of course, be an efficient
means of transfer.

Thanks.

Yes, perfectly. I can see then as a list, a grid or as individual images.
Using the download icon I can download the images, and tell that they were
created with a FinePix J210 - showing that the full image information is there.
There is no GPS information.

Great news! :-)

I much appreciate your help. Thank you, David.

It's strange to recall that at the time I took the photos, I didn't even
HAVE an iPhone. Now, I couldn't be without one!

Well you are pretty stupid yourself, not putting Number 4 at Number 1.

And for somebody who doesn't know the best/easiest way, asking is not
stupid at all.

Spend 5 minutes on Dropbox (or similar), and save 6 pounds plus the
postage, and they are there in a few seconds.

It is the same pattern that happens in every group F. Russell invades. Time
to blame the lack of many eyes!

F. Russell: <XnsACC9F3...@z9kfcl9n7KHDpF0eI.64L>
-----
Yea, I call bullshit on that. Driver media doesn't have a valid
boot sector present. As a result, the machine wouldn't have
refused to reboot because the disk was left behind.
-----

A reasoned response would be for you to just note your error -- of course
you were wrong to say "the machine would not have refused to reboot because
the disk was left behind." That is in fact exactly what was happening.

And you were wrong to say I suggested this was true of machines other than
the one being noted in Carroll's trolling.
F. Russell is STILL fixated on exclusively himself, as I noted, when it
comes to the business of puppet usage. And he completely snips the evidence
that his "ally" has not only confessed to engaging in this against Just Wondering
but he has said he deems it to be no big deal... a non-issue.

I'm guessing, after blocking all the sock puppets from F. Russell, it is
just two flooders mass producing nearly all of the onslaught. Obviously.
And both fully jealous crackpots.

These types of trolls get their thrill out of eliciting annoyed responses
to their lies, which is the very definition of a troll.

Normally that would of course be true.

However, when it's the infamous David Brooks who's putting a question
about something that is easily resolved with a trivial Google search
(yet chooses not to attempt one), one knows that it's not going to be
about simply getting advice.

wetransfer - not sure of limitations but you don't have to set anything up
and there are no accounts required

it's the easiest method i think by far

It was Rbowman who was publicly asking how better to obscure his scams.
How much more time does Rbowman's dim witted ass (a brick knows more than
Rbowman and is useful) need to prove their Mike Easter spamming accusation
with message IDs? That's our Rbowman, though, no need for morals and such.
Believes if your machine/network is online, they've got the right to use
your CPU cycles, whether you agree or not. But Rbowman feels the need to
mock the herd.

Just about everything Rbowman says about anyone is dishonest of course,
but he does not care.

My point of view: Even if a person was barely learning by copying websites,
the notion that gaining proficiency as being one of having "NOTHING" to
show for it doesn't follow because you'll have the understanding to show
for it and proficiency is beyond Rbowman.

Not really as there are many free options and some options are better suited depending on your final aim.
if I want to send files to people I use wetransfer, if I want to share files I use dropbox.
Theres a differnce between sharing files with people and sending them files.
if I wanted peolpe so see a file here I'd use dropbx if I wanted to send a files to those here I'd use wetransfer.

Only disadvantage of wetransfer is the the person can't see the file before downloading it,
where as they can see it before downloading with dropbox.
Advantage of wetransfer is that you can send it to multiple people and they get I think 7 days to download it
and you get an email message when they do.

of course there are other services which probbbaly have pros and cons in their usage.


So it is a good idea to ask such Qs frokm those that use such services that might have favourite ways.

I now need one where I can send files of 3-7GB of so wetransfer is limited to 2GB for free .

So if anyone has any ideas, was thinking of ftp or DCC via IRC but haven't used those
for years or even bittorrent might be an option.

I use both iCloud Drive and Adobe Creative Cloud for sharing video file larger than 3GB. I pay for additional storage on both services, so I have 200GB on iCloud Drive, and 1TB on Adobe CC.

For those video files smaller than 3GB I use SmugMug, or for some of those smaller than 2GB I use DropBox. However, DB also has daily broadband limitations on non-pro accounts.

Generally I have found the simplest image sharing method for me to be SmugMug as it is pure unlimited cloud storage which does not use any of my DB, iCloud Drive, or Adobe CC storage space. Needless to say I still maintain local storage, and a backup protocol.
