Years ago, we used Kodak Gallery to post photos that we wanted to share with family, then it was bought by Shutterfly. I’ve used Shutterfly for several years and it has gotten more and more difficult to upload pics and to share them. You used to be able to drag-and-drop photos so that they would appear in the correct order (I’m talking mostly about photos from vacations, in this case) and you could add captions to each photo if you wanted to. I got the album done yesterday (with 91 photos) and sent the email invitation via Shutterfly to a few family members. One said they could see the pictures in a collage format but they couldn’t click on one photo at a time in order to see the captions. They couldn’t see the captions at all.
In looking around Shutterfly’s site, they have something called “free share sites” so I tried to copy my 91-picture album into a share site, but when I looked at it, the captions were cut off.
It’s making me pull out my hair!
Anybody use other free sites that aren’t as clunky as Shutterfly has become?
If you’re comfortable with the usage of AI to identify people in your photos, Google Photos does have a really powerful system that can identify people and pets that appear repeatedly in your photos and makes an album of all those pictures for you. Uploading is easy (if you get the phone app, uploads are automatic and you can also back up your photos), and sharing just requires clicking a button.
I used Flickr to post the 600+ African Safari photos we took, then posted a link in FB so family and friends could go out to view if they wished but were not photo-deluged with a huge picture list. I separated photos into albums to make it more useful and easier to view in smaller bites.
