Photos - sharing giving me fits! Help please!

[MartyCan]

I need to share a large number of phtos to a friend in anoher country from Photos.

I tried setting up shared photo albums in iCloud but he's not on a Mac and he says iCloud won't let him in.

I have a Dropbox account too but when I try to copy the photos and paste to a Dropbox folder but it only pastes the thumbnails and I want to send the full version.

Tried searching Apple.ca but all that came up was their marketing page which had no info that helped me.

Is there a way for a Windows (or possibly Chromebook) user to view the shared album or is there a way that I can copy/paste the photos I want to send to him in the full original size?

Not so hard, but maybe counter-intuitive... In the People options select Public Website and it'll give you a URL you can share. I know, the term "Public Website" implies that anyone can find it, but they do have to guess a 16-character address to do it. It's a web page, so anyone with a Windows or Chromebook machine can view it.

Open photos and "export" the pictures - you can decide what quality / resolution to save and then save the files into a drop box folder that you share.

If solution 1 doesn't work I'll try that next thanks.
