best way to give external reviewers tons of images?

Hi Heidi-

A lot of us use Dropbox for sharing source and published files. The concept is the same for image libraries.

Another popular file sharing service is YouSendIt.com. You first zip your files, then upload to YouSendIt service. Afterwards, you get a link to share to the compressed files. The problem with some of those services is that they first require the recipient to sign up. That just adds friction which is one reason we like Dropbox so much.

Here are a couple threads and screencasts on using Dropbox for sharing.

Thank you both.  We do use yousendit quite frequently, but for this i was hoping for a more simple solution in which I could easily upload a large number of images, and then have direct links to each of those individual images.

I think I've found a solution!   I am going to test out googledocs.  It allows me to easily upload tons of images, then I'll create word docs that will have the links to those images.  I'll create one central account for all of our smes, and  have them download the word docs, edit, and send back to us (so that we can record who made what edits, while maintaining only one login for them).  They will not have read-only rights to the images.

Thanks,

Heidi
