Private Photos - Easier Sharing than via Email?

So I can load private photos, then ‘share’ them in which another person gets an email and it’s through that link that they can view the photos. Is there any way for this to be easier so that people don’t need to always click the email link to view the photos? Basically, I’m trying to create a photo album that 2 of my 3 other family members can view. But if those 2 that I want to give access to always have to click on a link in an email (which can be easily lost), that’s a pain. Is there a way I’m not seeing of allowing only certain family members easier access? |

We are making this much easier in an upcoming release, so stay tuned. One thing you can do today is to create a Friend Group which will allow them to view anything on your site which has View access set to Friends and Family To do this
Send this information to the people you want to share with. I hope this helps. |

I don’t understand your suggestion. I need to set up a Friend group within my Family group so they can see these pictures? When is the upcoming release happening (because this all seems too complicated than simply allowing certain Family Members access to photos and not all of them)? |

We have multiple layers of View access so you have total control over who can access things in your Famundo site. For most purposes, Family is the desired View access. Friends is a special access permission, which allows people outside of your immediate family to view certain things on your site but not have permission to edit or delete. We expect out next release to be available by the end of Q2, 2008 Richard |

Richard, thanks so much. This definitely helped to understand the Family/Friend difference and I think I’m on the right track. One more question at this point: when I go to ‘Edit Album’ and then click the drop-down menu for ‘View Access’ there is a Family option, a Family and Friends options, but no just Friends (no Family) option. I haven’t made a Friend group yet but if I do, will the just Friends option be added to this drop-down menu? |

There is a hierarchy with our permissions. For example, if something has view access Parents only parents can view it. If something has Family view access, all family members, including parents, since they have more rights than children, can view it. Similarly, since Family has more rights then Friends, both family and friends can view something that has Friends and Family view access. Hope this helps. Richard |
