Question

Share a folder containing multiple albums

I need to group hundreds of photos to share with my design team. I want to organize them, so I am trying to use separate ablums. I want to create a method that allows anyone on the team to add more photos and have them automatically show up without having to share them individually.

 

  • I tried creating seperate albums and adding them all to one folder, but you can't share a folder.
  • You also cannot add albums to albums, so I cannot organize them that way.

 

Isn't this program meant for organizing and sharing hundreds of photos with groups of people? Is there a way that I have not been able to find?

 

Using the new Lr desktop version.

No, I don't think there is a way of sharing multiple albums (or even a single album) with multiple people without having to share the albums individually with all the users if you want them to be able to add more photos to any of the albums. To be able to add photos requires the "Can Contribute" setting to be enabled, and that option is only available during the invite process. Each album would have to be individually shared in order to allow the invitations to be sent.

 

There is a "Gallery" feature in LrWeb which allows multiple albums to be added to the gallery, which requires only a single URL to be shared thereby giving users access to all the albums in the gallery....but there's no option that I can find that allows the gallery albums to be enabled for the "Can Contribute" option.
