Tech News and Commentary

Dave and the team discuss the Presidential alert, a payment app scam, the new richest American, Surface devices, new Facebook passwords, and more.

Doug in North Miami, Florida listens to the podcast and asked: “Just got back from my honeymoon and have a lot of pictures to share. I’m not sure what I should do about maybe signing up for Dropbox, or which you would recommend that would be like an affordable type product that I could use to download some 700 pictures. But I’m not downloading all of them – just a few.”

Doug, just about any tech giant will do this.

Google Drive can store and share photos with the people you choose, it can also manipulate your photos to create effects that some people find entertaining. If you’re not one of those people, you can turn those effects off.

Dropbox does let you share pictures both as just files and viewed on a gallery style, so yes, you can sign up for a free account with them like you said and you should be able to share far more than 700 pictures if you choose to.

We use Flickr, you can make public or private galleries which you can share. There are premium and free accounts, but the free account gets you 1TB worth of photo storage, so it should be more than enough for you.
