    Library sharing question - Possible to block edits?

      I would like to share all pictures, in all albums, in all libraries to the public without allowing any edits/uploads.  Is this possible?

      So far I only see where I can invite others via email, but they are able to upload and edit which I do not want to be possible.

          Asking others to join a group libraryis a collaborative thing, where there is one owner, and other contributors. All must have revel accounts and then the library will show up in their account. You can not limit their capabilities except that they already can not delete photos that they did not add themselves.

           

          Sharing of albums withing libraries  is more limited and does not require others to have a revel account.

           

          If you wish to share everything for viewing only by anyone, you could put everything in the library into a single album, disable downloads, and share the link. If you have more than one library, you could do a link an album in each library that contains all of the photos in the library.

           

          If you then have some photos you wish to share with family or a group and you wish them to be able to download, you can put those photos into a different album in the library (they can be some of the same photos/videos in the public album) and enable downloads.
