Sharing a Folder containing albums

[wildglio]

I know how to share an album, directly from my Lightroom account, but I cannot share a Folder that contains 20 Albums. I could share each of the Albums individually, but that method would not be simple or easy for my end user. 

Is this possible?

Maybe Portfolio is the only way forwards?

Are you talking about Lightroom Classic (LrC icon)? Or Lightroom (Lr icon)?

I am working from LrC on my desktop Mac and would like to be able to create a link to share a Folder of Albums on Lr.

There are no albums in LrC. There is no such things as a "Folder of Albums". Please be more specific about what you are trying to do. Describe in detail.

Apologies dj_paige, I was looking at Lr and had forgotten that for some reason LrC calls a Folder a Collection Set and an Album a Collection. On LrC I have a Collection Set which contains 20 Collections; I would like to be able to share the Collection Set as a whole.

I am not aware if syncing a Collection set, is possible in LrC. See the info at the link below.

I don't think you can share a Collection set. I think you have to choose to share each collection.

Folders of albums (Collection Sets in LrC) cannot be shared from any of the Lightroom apps. The best that you can do is to place all 20 albums into a "Gallery", then share the Gallery link. Users receiving that link would be able to view all of the albums contained within the Gallery. 

The Gallery has to be created in the LrWeb interface, and its major drawback is that you can only have one Gallery active at a time, with apparently no easy way to delete it and create a new Gallery with a different link for sharing with a different set of viewers. You can remove albums from the Gallery, and add new ones, but it's always the same link as far as I can tell.

Thanks to all for your comments. I have eventually gone down the line of the Gallery in LrWeb and deleted an Album that was already in the Gallery and substituted it with the new one. It would certainly be great to be able to have different Galleries with different acces permissions.
