I have some friends and family that were at an event and took lots of pictures... and they want to send me about 200 photos each at full-quality.... but alas, email only allows 10mb per-email. Does anyone know the easiest/quickest way for someone (these ppl aren't "too" computer literate) to send 200 standard-sized digital cam photo to someone else online?

ZIP them and then:

That said, email isn't really made for this stuff. FTP is. But I doubt FTP was the answer you were looking for?

Chris... thanks for that site! That's really cool. Unfortunately though, I doubt non-geeks would have any zipping software like winrar or winzip. FTP is certainly the best... but having to teach someone how to use FTP is my last resort! :lol:

I've been telling everyone to just upload them to photobucket for now... until I decide what method to use. I just don't know if photobucket does any compression (quality-loss) on the pictures that are uploaded. I would guess it most certainly does for their bandwidth concerns.

Have them burn the images to a CD and mail it to you.

I've actually taught plenty of non-tech-savvy people to use FTP. What really helps is the fact that you don't have to install anything on Windows: Windows Explorer supports ftp out of the box, and from there it's drag and drop.

SmugMug is another possibility.
