So you don't want to upload them to Google in case it get "hacked" but you're happy to upload to some other random site?

Why ado you want to do this?

Google Drive is the obvious solution here.

I get your point. i wish to do this coz this way i can place my logo on outgoing documents or email etc. Maybe a stupid reason,  but does google provide a link for every photo ??? & only we can send it to who we want, correct ?????......& how would i upload a photo to google drive ????  its just a massive hassle searching for a particular photo in G drive ...cheers mate.

Could of course email them to yourself = I often do that when working on a job so I can access them from my other laptop or desktop. Have just done so for a book I am working on

Well you don't need to upload them anywhere, you can just attach them to the email.

If you write a HTML email and put your logo in that, it'll appear (assuming the destination can/chooses to view it that way).  If they strip it out and show it as plain view, well no logo.

I think you're overcomplicating it.

How is it "just a massive hassle searching for a particular photo in G drive"? Your G drive will only contain images you put there. My G drive contains about 10 videos and a few images, it doesn't take long to find what I want.

I have a domain and website for storing family photos.  The main page was created to look like the  URL was recently
registered and nothing visible.

Unless you know the name of the folders/files there is no access.  It does not stop people trying though. Every now and then
I get strange connections which seem to probe my site. Fingers crossed they have not gotten in but I would expect Google to
have better security than me.

I just don't trust Google because they closed one of my email accounts down with no warning "I broke the rules". Tried to
speak to them and that was the only thing they would say.

New account on a new tablet to register a game, I have lots of Google accounts and never had an issue before. I just thought
what if that was my banking email...

Most cloud services allow you to share a folder or file for a certain period of time that you set. Obviously once somebody has downloaded the photo you cannot control what they then do with it.

Unless you needs are truly exceptional I can see no reason why any of the reputable services are not secure providing you follow all of their security protocols (strong passwords, two factor authorisation etc).

Is it the photos you are concerned about or other aspects of your account? If the latter then use a different service for this particular job only.

Could of course put them onto a Portable Hard Drive - I did suggest that you set up an account and email them to yourself.

The reason for this request was to allow images to be included/linked in emails and documents. A portable hard drive or emailing to self wouldn't help with this requirement:

Although for that requirement, images deleted after 3 or 4 days may make documents and emails look wrong/bad once the images are gone.
