I have several design ideas wich I want to send to a client, although the easiest way is to send them an email with the images attached then get feedback and send another email is there an easier way?
Is there a good cloud-based system where I can manage ideas and get feedback?

You can use www.wetransfer.com/ No need to sign up. Its very secure. I have been using it for few years now. You can send upto 2 gb for free. The UI of this site is good as well.
There have been a number of web-based design version control products recently, though most of them seem to have been discontinued (LayerVault was a good one), as it clearly isn't a service enough people are willing to pay for.
Pixelapse is another option, though it was acquired by Dropbox in January last year – they said they'd continue support for a year, which means it's on borrowed time.
Which leads me to Dropbox. If you use Dropbox, you can send your client a link to a PDF or image file and have them leave comments on the file itself. You might want to set up a shared 'Proofs' folder for your client, and save your proofs into it (named 'YYMMDD Project Proof#' or something similar). Dropbox also lets you add an 'expiry' to a link.
I've used ProofHQ for a long time now and it's been a blessing since then.
Jump there and check all the features it has for handling designs, versions, comments, revisions, approvals, everything cloud based and seriously thought through. Haven't found any other option that gets this good, to be honest. My clients love it.
If you're using Sketch (which, if you're doing web design, you should be.), Zeplin was designed just for this reason. Its built for designers to send their work over to developers and/or clients for feedback and to send into production.
If you're not using Sketch. You can send JPGs of your work and ask your client to install Skitch to annotate screenshots of your work.
