Since in the larger scheme of things, the several GB of data - even if it's in the tens or hundreds of GB - is not that huge would be easy to store in the cloud and easy to access for my sister, her husband and me.

Another option would be a photo storage account, such as PhotoBucket, but I am less comfortable with that.

The last solution would be for me to upload the images to my webspace but I am not clear about how to grant them access without letting them into the entire site. And I am not sure how to keep the files from being found by web searches and made available to the public.
