Dear committee members
We can make all the images recovered from the PC backup drive accessible on the website in a number of ways. I don’t know if we have a storage limit on our website account (I’ll enquire). We could use the WordPress media library but it is very clunky to administer when dealing with multiple images. Alternatively we could use folders outside the WordPress environment but still use the website as storage.
I suppose it rather hinges on whether we want to ongoing maintain a website and Google account. Currently our Google account is free, we get 15GB storage included. Thereafter it’s £15p.a. for 100GB extra, the entire backup disc was 79GB). If we use the Google photo library with compressed images, we probably ought to store them on the Google drive in their original form too.
My preferred method is using our Google account Photo library to build albums, but even with Google we have two options. In option 1, someone with better knowledge of the photos (and access permission) can go in and add notes to the albums or individual images which a viewer would then see.
Please see below.

- Use the google account photos application to create albums of each folder and have a simple list of links that take the viewer to the album in a new browser tab, viz:
Braggs Corner Accident – this is probably the preferable in terms of viewers scrolling through. The uploaded image is slightly compressed to preserve account space. - The other less user friendly way is to upload at original size into folders in our google documents account and using an iframe give the user access to each google drive folder as below. Here you have to click on a title to display it. This tends to be the better way for sharing a folder of documents rather than images.
