“However, sharing those photos with a subset of your contacts or sending full quality personal images to just your family members is still remarkably difficult. That’s where we come in.” Hmm, not really. My sister who is not the most technical person has been uploading pictures to PicasaWeb and sharing them with specific people and groups. With the extra storage (whose price sadly increased with Google Drive), I also always upload my files at full resolution and sharing is easy. The odd thing to me is that if you position yourself against Facebook (who is the implicit target of the first paragraphs), and you go completely free, you have to wonder what the catch is. I pay Google some money for the storage at least.
