Help with direct links to unlisted galleries?

Still hating the new SmugMug. Having all kinds of issues due to the lack of user-friendliness.

I have several galleries that need to be private, meaning that I don't want my clients to access them from my homepage: http://danielleaquilinephoto.smugmug.com.

How do I access them without having to pretend to upload a photo just to get into the gallery? And more importantly, how do I give direct links to that gallery?

I tried to make it public, and I used this link: https://danielleaquilinephoto.smugmug.com/Vacation/Key-West-Florida/.

Yet, it doesn't work without a password.

What am I doing wrong?

    If you make the gallery "unlisted" a direct link is needed to get to the gallery. You, logged in, will see it in its parent folder, visitors will not.
    Go to the gallery and copy the browser URL. It will have a /n-xxxxx at the end of link. Send that.

    In gallery settings, under Security & Sharing, make sure you set the galleries to Unlisted, not Private.

    Not sure why you are having trouble finding existing galleries. But you can always get to them using the organizer if you're having trouble with folder customization.

    For unlisted galleries, they'll need the gallery key attached to the end of the URL you share. The best way to get the URL is to open one of the photos in the lightbox and click on the "Share" button. A window will open and you'll find the Gallery link on the "Gallery" tab: https://danielleaquilinephoto.smugmug.com/Vacation/Key-West-Florida/n-nt8Mz
