Has anyone looked at Adobe Portfolio?

As I understand it, it's a straightforward way of building a web site to show your images. It's free if you have one of Adobe's CC plans, such as the photography plan (which I do).

I've had a Smugmug site for a year or two, but it's way over the top for what I really need, which is to

- provide somewhere where family and friends can see images of interest to them and take copies if they wish
- host images so that I can link via a url to sites such as this (you know, on the off chance Tiny pic isn't working )

At first glance it seems quite rudimentary, but I think it will do what I need.

Any thoughts?

I technically use it ), but I really need to sit down and rebuild my portfolio there as I have added a lot of content to my personal portfolio and I have definitely been negligent in updating it over the past couple of years. The price is right as it is part of the Adobe CC subscription price.

The downside seems to be very limited exposure in the photography community. The graphic artists seem to be the main presence on the site.

I recently created a site on it. They have multiple website templates you can choose from. I have very minimal website building skills, but I found the template I chose easy to use. The only problem I noticed is if a prior image (e.g., "Image 1") within a folder of images is of a larger dimension than the image following it (e.g., Image "2"), the "larger" parts of Image 1 -- i.e., the additional pixels on the top, bottom and side(s) -- although reasonably faint, can be seen on the top, bottom and/or sides of Image 2 as you "click" from Image 1 to 2. I think you might be able to get around that problem by darkening the "background" color of the page, but I haven't had the time to try that idea to see if it will work...or maybe the brightness of my monitor is set too high.
