Q: Sharing Full Size Photos via Photos

I was just in the process of setting up a shared album in Photos so that I can share a dozen or so large JPEG format photos (8MB - 12MB per file). I note the Photos support files reference a max file size, much smaller than the originals.

Is this correct...? If so, can anyone advise the best way to share full resolution photos via iCloud?

Thanks in advance

The Shared Albums restrict the image dimensions to a maximum dimension of 2048 pixels. All other iCloud sharing require everyone to be using the same iCloud ID and password.

For images that big your best bet would be to use Dropbox or one of the photo sharing sites like Flickr, Cluster, Shutterfly or Photobucket.
