Multiple approaches...yes
Make a password protected .zip file or something. Split the file into a bunch of smaller binary segments, and generate PAR2 files for the data segments. Upload to an unloved binaries group on Usenet. My Usenet provider - Astraweb - has 2115 days of retention...
So many things wrong with this suggestion.
1) Put private family images on Usenet for public consumption?
2) Who will be responsible for teaching the family members about the ins and out of Usenet? About how to find the photos? Of ensuring access for every family member?
Unloved or otherwise, a public Usenet group is not the solution to this problem. Why wouldn't a shared folder on Dropbox serve the purpose just as well, as not better?
