> When it comes to my personal photos archive, I care about 2 things: (1) occasional sharing and (2) keeping my huge archive safe. Dropbox does both, iCloud does neither. iCloud definitely does occasional sharing. Keeping your archive safe is definitely questionable though. > iCloud sharing only works with people using iDevices and I don't have many acquaintances or family members with a preference for Apple. Dropbox allows for publishing to a web link, with or without a password, with or without an expiration date. And that's cool, because I can send that link to anybody. Cross-platform and all that. I can do that with iCloud Photos. I select a bunch of photos I want to share, I select an existing (or create a new) iCloud shared photo library, and then I enable a web link for them and share that. Works on fruits, robots, glass panes and penguins.
