Copy photos to another user's account?

Andrew Maiman

I recently convinced one of my friends to sign up for SmugMug.

I currently have a few albums worth of his pictures uploaded to an unlisted gallery on my own account, and I was wondering if there's an easy way to copy them to his account without reuploading all of them? The "collect photos" feature seems promising, but I don't see any way to do a whole gallery at a time (it only lets me collect one photo at a time, which would take forever)

I'd like to keep the galleries on my account as well (leaving them unlisted), although he may want to make them public on his account/site.

Hi Andrew...

I asked the same question a few months ago. Here's the link to the info I got. Hope this helps.

Can't 'copy' them - we can move them. You can allow collecting, but the collected photos on the new site will honor all the security and settings you set on your site.

Thanks for the info! It looks like the best option in my case, then, is to re-upload the photos since I still have the original files. That way I can keep my unlisted copy (and it will still sync to my iPhone using Smugwallet) and my friend can have his public copy. It just means that if captions or anything get changed we'll have two different sets.

I may still e-mail support to move one or two of the albums (there's a few that I really don't need on mine, too). I'll wait until after my friend's trial to make sure he keeps it first, though.
