Google Picasa
Picasa Web Albums and Galleries
The first link is for the picasa photo organizer and also uploads photos to PicasaWeb (Google/Gmail account would be needed.) Once uploaded, the grandmother only needs to send the link to her gallery to her niece.Acreo Aeneas

I put nearly all of my photos on picasa. Since it does store original sizes it also acts as a photo backup solution.

Re: online file transfer
Why not drop box?
You create a folder in dropbox and put the files you want in there.
Then when they sync to the cloud. I assume you want only family to have the photos. So you make the folder private.
You have the ability to send a link to that folder to as many people as you like. Now your family can just right click and copy the folder or single images to their desktop.
Hope this helps.

Re: online file transfer
Picasa. Then www.photopeach.com to show off the pictures. Photopeach links to your picasa gallery and you can add your own mp3. Here's a slideshow I made recently. http://photopeach.com/album/x2w1q7 if you click on the word source next to the title it links you back to picasa.

Once the pictures are in your online albums, individual thumbnails will be created automatically so people can browse each of your photo albums without having to load every large image. When you want to see a specific one, they just click on it and whatever size image you uploaded will be opened. A user can then save the image for printing or print directly from their browser.
Here's an example from my own album: Winter Forest Desktop Wallpaper
Dropbox is nice, but it's more of a all-around quick backup tool rather than something dedicated for photos and graphics. It's something I haven't used often since I'm still tied to my UFD, but it's great service for students or working adults who have a lot of smaller files they sync between their computer at work and at home (and other devices in between).Acreo Aeneas
