    Just looking for recommendations for file sharing sites for holiday pics or similar to share among family and friends. Easy interface and access, generous storage size, restricted access, encryption or not - these and more would be important points. Any comments will be great, any other suggestions I am happy to add.

    I use Dropbox when I need to share something. I usually zip and upload it and then share public link to others to download the package. After a while I delete those packages. I just remembered that I should check out what's in my shared folder...

    For family I use syncthing. For friends who don't want to bother with it JottaCloud.

    Wetransfer.com is also neat for big files.

    I use Dropbox as a backup service, not file sharing. Don't know if it counts.

    I have OneDrive because it's included automatically with my Hotmail account, but I don't usually use it.

    I have a Dropbox, One Drive, Google Drive and an iClould account. I use none of them for file sharing.

    I will be using Dropbox in the near future to for a few files so they are accessible with all of my devices. iCloud is used somewhat but not for file sharing,

    Google Drive, when I adopted it a few years ago, it offered combination of best value storage, linux/android client, things may of changed since then in terms of alternatives, but its proven 100% reliabile and I use it from everything from storing virtual machine images to storing 10gb of digital photos.

    I use Onedrive. It's effectively integrated in Win pcs and seamlessly syncs across all devices. I like it very much. It's intuitive and simple.

    Used Wetransfer.com a few times.
    A more secure alternative, suggested to me by a friend is: https://robustfiles.com/

    I've got Google drive with a google apps account but I had to check to see if I'm actually using it. I do have few forgotten files on it but nothing shared.
