>>>I am still considering dropbox. I do have a paid dropbox that I use for my personal needs (mainly so that I can get some files from PC to iPad). I pay about $100 per year but I don't remember how much space it gives me. As I said, currently my photos occupy about 60 GB and will grow. So, say, I need 100 GB for family pictures, I don't know if I can place all my photos in the dropbox. And I have no problem giving my kids the dropbox email and password. By concern is if, for any reasons, I stop paying for the dropbox, the photos will be lost. So I will need to arrange a way for them to pick up the tab, if I am not able to pay (physically, not financially).
>>>Therefore, unless someone suggests a "better" approach, I will go with dropbox.

>Better is an absolute adjective. "Better" is a relative adjective.

Now you confuse me even more (which is absolute by your terminology, as it can't be graded - can't be more more nor morer), because https://www.englishgrammar.org/absolute-adjectives/ says "Some adjectives express ideas that cannot be graded. For example, a person can’t be more or less dead. In the same way, a sphere can’t be more or less round. In grammars these adjectives are called non-gradable or absolute adjectives.". But but but... better is already a grade of good. It's not an adjective per se, it's a grade of good.

So... it becomes gradeable when you add quotes? So more better is impossible, but "more better" is OK? Wish I knew about these fine points when I was learning english... I guess we'd have fun in the class when I started asking questions of this "kind" (kind can be graded, e.g. kinder - kindest, so quotes are OK, right?).
