I recently returned from a vacation with my brother and sister and we would like to be able to share our photos with each other online so we can all pick the best from the bunch. All of the photos were taken with cell phones (some are iOS and some are Android). Free is good. Easy is even better. Some way to tag the photos and give a little organization to them would be nice as well. I’m not sure how much space all of the photos would take but say 10GB. Thanks in advance. ---

By far the most convenient way is in google drive. Free and easy to share while staying private. Of course they all need a google account. ---

Can an iPhone share photos to Google Drive? I know Apple likes their walled garden and try not to play nice with Android/Google. ---

Sure! I use it on my iPhone. Download the app. ---

Yes, anyone with a (free) Gmail address can use Google drive. The easiest solution is one that everyone already has, but if that doesn’t exist, a Google drive is free, shares photos well, supports some organization (for instance, it’s easy to create a lot of folders, and move stuff from one to another) and and is pretty easy for everyone to sign up for and figure out. ---

Not sure how easy it is to make joint albums, but I’d go straight to Google Photos. It’s got more of the tools you are likely to need. ---

The free version of Resilio Sync works well if you just want to share a folder. ---

memorykpr . com has a free version that allows multiple people to contribute and view “memories” (pics, video, audio etc) in a secure environment.
