Need file repository for sharing large files
I am doing a project of digitizing my fathers old slides from the 60's during his 5 year Air Force posting to France. Couple thousand slides of camping trips throughout Europe and England. We trave...

Thanks for all the input and ideas everyone, and gdetrailer your long informative post too. Takes a while to write all this and I appreciate it all.
Just to clarify, I only want this for sharing purposes, not permanent storage. Family is all over the map, so I thought it would be easier to just email them all a link to download the stuff from a common location.
I always, always, did I say always? I always keep copies of copies of all my data. Pictures, tax records, personal info, everything has data redundancy. I have multiple portable drives in addition to my main computer with copies of the important stuff to keep.
And as mentioned above, I too have a NAS RAID setup for doing backups. I actually have 2 of them, both with mirror RAID. Hadn't thought about doing a file share via my NAS setup.... Mine are Dlink too. Totally forgot about using it to share files. Thank you for the reminder. Haven't been in them for a while, I'll have to relearn it.
None of my stuff is ever held solely in someone else's cloud location. I don't trust having my files out of my possession for the reasons many of you have mentioned. And I don't want it out there for others to grab anyways.
Maybe, as mentioned here, thumb drives and snail mail. One day I'll be dead and gone so I want this family history in the hands of all who want it.
I'd still rather have some way they can all just download it.
