sharing photos online
vs. sharing by email
There's a reason so many people are sharing online. It's faster, easier, and more convenient for both you and your friends. Just look at how sharing online stacks up against sending photos in emails...
  online sharing email sharing
SIZE   Size doesn't matter:

Friends receive a simple email inviting them to view your photos from their own account when it's convenient for them.
 
  Sharing limited by size:

Friends receive emails with huge attachments that clog inboxes.
STORAGE Unlimited storage:

With online photo sites you can share as many photos as you like; your albums can hold hundreds of photos.
Storage is restricted:

Larger emails usually won't make it past firewalls. Plus, many email accounts limit the number of attachments per email, so you have to send multiple emails.
VIEWING Fun, easy viewing:

Friends see your photos in customized albums that showcase each photo; they can also
use the slideshow feature.
 
Viewing can be difficult:
Photos can be gigantic or teeny; you can't control how it will appear on your friends' screens.
PRINTING Prints for pennies:

Friends can order any print with the click of a button; they can also make photo gifts and add comments to your album if you choose to allow them. You can also share photos in group rooms, so that you and your friends can post your photos in the same place.
Printing is complicated:

Friends must either save the photos to their hard drive, then pull them into software to print them from home; download the photos and then upload them to an online service; or save them on a CD or memory card and take them to a store for printing.
How Do I Share Photos Online?
Once you've uploaded photos to your Snapfish account, just click on "share" in the right-hand toolbar, and then "share a photo," "share this album," or "share to phone". Enter as many email addresses as you'd like, edit your message, and then click the "share photo" or "share album" button. It's that easy!

Your friends will receive an email invitation to view your photos. From there, they can order prints and enlargements, add comments to your Guest Book and more.
