I share vids and stuff with an Azure storage account and set a SAS key with an expiration. Then share the url.

@aaronpk If you do not want to create an account it means they are shared publicly, or you can password protect them. But if you want to add more to the mix, then this idea sounds like a nightmare for any server admin. Imagine bots adding lots of messedup photos to your server, constantly.

Thus you either need a file sharing without account solution, like send.trom.tf/ - you add the photos/files, you put a password if you want, you share. Or by far the best is Nextcloud. files.trom.tf/ - create a quick account and add your photos, then add more, then share as you wish. If you need more storage space let me know. We extend it for those who want. All is free of course.

Nextcloud

yes i ran it from my laptop with ngrok and basic auth on apache

maybe not the best way but i had a good experience with waschinski/photo-stream on github (jekyll)

We use hightail for distributing audio/ video & artwork files - You could use that. You can send a group folder and have work spaces - You can also have password protected files/links.

Honestly, probably a private group message on your app of choice. iCloud can share no-account-required photo sets via iCloud link, but you can’t add to the link over time and would have to reshare. Otherwise you could go old-school and self-host a photo page behind a password.

Do you need them to be able to add to the folder too?

A shared link to a folder

Might not be the best, but works.(Not high res)

I've had a nextcloud server running on an old laptop for a while. It's limited by my slow home internet, but it had the functionality

Hello internet friends!

What is the best way to share a set of photos with a select few people, while being able to add more photos over an extended period of time? Must not rely on creating an account like on iCloud.

I have my own thoughts but I am interested in other ideas!
