Sharing Files and Folders Using the Computer Apps

Sharing pictures and files with others is one of the most popular features of PhotoSphere. Before we get started, it is important to understand the difference between sharing files and inviting others to join your PhotoSphere under a sub-account. File sharing is done through sending links while inviting sub-accounts is done by adding sub-account users to a shared album.

 

Note: The computer apps cannot be used to invite people as sub-accounts on your PhotoSphere. This must be done using the phone app. Also, shared albums with sub-account users is managed through the phone app.
