P: Share folders

It's an insanely basic and easy thing to implement that we have needed for years. Why have they not updated this? Incredibly difficult to deliver sorted photos to anybody in app. 

My use case is sharing photo folders and everything that is contained within them. As it is now, I need to add albums into the Gallery in order to share them with my team. That means I lose all the folders they're organized in. I have all of my albums organized into folders, but cannot share the main folder. So if I have a main folder named MAIN FOLDER, and it has subfolders with albums in each subfolder, how do I easily share the entire folder named MAIN FOLDER? A "work-around" shouldn't be needed. There should be an easy option, but looking at this string it seems like everyone is having the same issue.

It depends on what you are doing. What is your use case?

From there we might be able to determine an existing work around solution.

I thought I was missing something when trying to share my newly created folders with my team. Reading through this string, it looks like this has been an issue with Lightroom CC for a very long time. Why, Adobe? Seems like this should be a very basic operation for sharing—this is really an Achilles' heel for this system. We were considering moving all of our images from Google Photos over to LR, but will definitely rethink that direction.

Missing the point. SmugMug and Portfolio allow for the concept of multiple albums. e.g. share a folder which has multiple albums in it.

This is not "share albums" topic, but "share folders".

It should be noted, there are three built in ways to share albums in Lr. The first two via connections:

Adobe Portfollio

SmugMug

The third is the share/invite albums. Although I would like this feature, I do have higher wish items....

I am a professional user of image database systems for sharing and collaborating on work in the design industry and a long term (40 year) user of Adobe products. I only started looking at Lightroom (as its buddled into CC) in the last year and I thought in retiremenrt its the way to go for all personal imagery. However, without being able to share 'Folders' or a 'Collection' of 'Albums' under one link makes Lightroom seem what it is against better systems... more Lightweight and not fit for anyone who needs and wants to share more than one event with another person or group.

For pity sake Adobe, get this sorted immediatly or its game over for Lightroom before I've even begun... I cant belive so many users have persisted for so long without this basic function.

Hello, I work as a biologist and am using LrCto creat a catalog of identified individual animals. The goal is that this catalog can be shared with others so that we can work collaboratively on the Photo-ID catalog. Since there are hundreds of photos, I have it organized in folders, subfolders and albums. It would be helpful if I could share folders and not just albums with my colleagues over the cloud. Thanks!

4 years later and thus is still not possible? Is this ever gonna be possible?
