Can I share a folder? If so, then how?

I was a member some years ago but deleted my account for various reasons. I have recently joined the free version and, obviously, see a lot of changes have taken place. In "the old days" if I wanted to share a lot of photos, I would insert them in a folder (I can't remember the name), and email the person I wanted to share with, and they could access the folder through a link in the email. Is it possible to still do this, or is creating a shared folder the way now?
