Im an amateur photographer and i do a lot of work shooting sporting events for my high school. I need an easy way to be able to get the photos out quickly. I tried flickr but even when i shoot only large files (not raw), i have 100-150 pictures needing to be uploaded at a time, and this takes crazy long to upload (6-7 hours last time i tried). I resorted to facebook because its much quicker but I end up losing quality. I just want something i can send a link to a team and it will take them too all the photos from the game I shot. Any suggestions?

IDK, but I use Phanfare. You should check them out. You can make slideshows with music. You can allow downloads if you choose plus many other options. I do pay $99,00 a year though. Here is an example. The site does have some quirks from time to time.

More than a little sure that google drive MURDERS photo quality.


I use Dropbox, it uploads quickly, and I uploaded 87 photos last weekend and it took about a 20 minutes.

Also, the quality doesn't *really* change. It is much better than Google Drive IMO.

I've never had issues with photo quality when sharing full resolution files with clients through Google drive and it does not compress photos unless you have it set to do so through Google Photos

TWoods knows what's up, but I'd really be interested to see where you are pulling this info from?

In my experience Drive doesn't do anything to the photo, the file size doesn't change, it's just a storage space. That's why I backup on Drive (as well as 4 other places)

But maybe I'm wrong?

I'm a big fan of Drive over Dropbox though.

I probably have some settings messed up, It never works for me. Always looks relatively shitty.
