Shorten the URL

Mike_Z

Hi,
The gallery URL may be https://www.domain.com/family/n-xxxxxx. Is there any way can visit the page without n-xxxxxx which is easy to remember and share to my family?
I dont mean URL shorten service like tinyurl, because that is shoren but still hard to remember as its generated by random letters combination.

Thank you
Mike

An unlisted gallery always has the characters appended to the end.

Have you considered sharing the galleries privately instead of using unlisted galleries?

I haven't tried private, the description says it can only seen by me, but I want to share some photos to my family, so there should have some other visitors like my parents.
I am trying to make some domain forwarding to solve it, like http://family.domainname.com.

Sorry for the confusion. I didn't mean making the gallery private, I was referring to sharing the photos privately as specified on the help page I linked.

Oh, I got it. I have tried it, it need to send emails and view gallery from link in the email.
But to my old parents, it's still hard to do it. The best way is to send them a link in some kind mobile app, like wechat, and all they do is to click it .

There actually is a way to share an, "app", https://help.smugmug.com/share-my-photos-SJ4mxxD1NHM#app. Then the recipient can add the link to their home-screen and see the images in the gallery whenever they click on it.
