Can a option be added so that when an album is shared via a url that there is a download all images option? It used to be there!

When I learned Adobe offered a simple photography website for FREE (with Photoshop/ Lightroom subscription) that lets you link your albums directly to password protected pages, I was STOKED! Now I don't have to edit, export, create a new google photos album, upload the edited photos, rearange their order one by one, and share the link with everyone I wanted. My workflow has been streamlined to save me hours! Now I can just edit my photos, create a page and link it to a Lightroom album in a few clicks... BUT when my friends get to the album they can't download the photos all at once. They're forced have to hold down their finger on each photo in the gallery view and save them to their device ONE AT A TIME. This is infuriating. Please add a "Download All" button for shared albums to iOS and Android.

That option should still be there, so I guess we need to figure out why you think it's not. 

So, presumably you have checked the album share settings to confirm that the downloads option is enabled?

Then, are the people that you've shared the URL with reporting the issue, or is it you checking your own album? If it's other users, did you send them a specific invitation via email or did you just send the URL?

Do they have their own Adobe account?

If you are checking your own album, how are you viewing? If using your own main LrWeb portal (i.e. with all photos and albums listed and the specific album selected), the download all option is not available. If, however, you open the share settings of the album, then click directly on the URL, that will launch the album into a different browser window and you will be in the same "viewing mode" that the other users would see, and in that mode the "Download All" option should be available.
