what happens if the recipient is not able to login to a dropbox account to view files?  If they are unable to, is there a better way to do this?
The Microsoft Outlook program indicated that sending 10 photos was too large for the program?

They should be able to log into Dropbox (they need to install it first). But it should work.

Alternative:  Microsoft One Drive.  That comes with Office and you can have multiple secured folders.
You could share via Google as well, using Google Drive. They shouldn't need to install dropbox, it can be used in the cloud only.

They do not need to install Dropbox. Use "Copy Dropbox link", not share folder
Several people I have sent the Dropbox notification to have responded that they are not interested in signing up for a Dropbox account.  That is understandable.  Therefore, how do I share 10 -12 photos by using Google Drive?
Microsoft Outlook is telling me that the file size is too large and will not all me to send the photos that way.

I think you have to sign up for Dropbox (even if you use the Cloud approach), and BOX, and One Drive and Google Drive.

So people have to sign up for something to share large files.  That is how we do things, and as you note, Outlook does not allow really large attachments.  

How big are your photos, because Outlook will allow up to about 10 MB at least.
Thanks to all the experts for your assistance.  Much appreciated.
