Share Picture Albums

Within my Default Pictures Folder \nas-F6-2F-62\data\Pictures I have many separate Albums but it would appear that there is no method of sharing certain Albums with other people unless its so obvious its staring me right in the face. Using a 314 with the latest 6.2.0 Firmware.

    Not really sure what you mean by that, viewing the Albums and Rht clicking on them a Menu with various Options appears but not Sharing. If I view an individual JPEG there is the Option to email a Link but only to that specific JPEG. Can not work out how to Share a specific Album only the overall Pictures Folder or a single JPEG.
    Thank you in advance, Simon

    The share is "Pictures". You can control who can see Pictures, but not who can see the subfolders within Pictures.

    That is what mdgm means by "done at the share level"

    Also sharing is managed by the NAS (via its web ui) and not from Windows. Right-clicking on any network folder (or network drive) in Windows will not give you a sharing choice. You can only share from the actual machine (the NAS in this case).

    Thank you Stephen,
    I was rht clicking on Folders in the Readycloud Admin page I thought. Yes your right it is the Subfolders that I wish to Share, I'm surprised that option is not implemented as I'm sure many people have 100's of Albums stored within their default "Pictures" folder.
    Cheers Simon
