Help with Sharing Galleries

mishnogram

Hello there, just have a quick question with regards to sharing photos in a specific gallery. I'd like to set up a gallery with full resolution shots and have the ability for people to download the entire gallery without needing my password for it.

Is there a way to do this?

Thanks,

ML

Hi ML,
Giving folks the ability to download original images is easy. Making sure that only the people you want to have this capability, have it. Is the tough part. Since without some sort of privacy setting, the downloading will be available to all.

All you need do to allow original downloads is to set largest size? to Original, in the Security & Privacy section of the Customize gallery page. Also, make sure Protect is set to NO if you are A Power or Pro user.

To make sure you can control who has the ability to download, you can either password protect the gallery. Which you say you don't want to do. Or, you can make the gallery unlisted. Meaning that you'd need to send the link/url to those you wish to give the download capability to. Otherwise, anyone will be able to download the files.

I hope this answered your question. If not, please contact us here.

Sharing the whole gallery?
I have a similar question...

Is there a way to allow a visitor to download all the photos in a gallery with just a couple of "clicks"?

I don't sell any photos and have friends who would like to get an entire album without having to select them one at a time.
