Questions about sharing and downloading
I recently shared an album with my father. He does not have an Expono-account, but his email address is listed in my contact list as "Family" (not surprising...). I then showed him how to access the pictures on his computer. This raised a couple of questions:
1. I followed the link in the email, and came to the album I had shared. I then clicked on the "Albums" tab, and then I had access to all my albums that where shared with family. I guess this is correct, since he is defined as family, and the URL in the email identifies him as such to Expono. But this also means that once he has such a URL that identifies him as family, I don't need to share other albums with him. As long as I open the album for access from "family" he can see it. Right?
2. In the privacy settings, I've set the download option to "Family and friends". However, using the URL I sent to my father, the pictures had no download option in the menu. Is this a bug, or does he have to create an Expono-account to be able to download?

Inappropriate?1. You are on the right track here. Your father's email is uniquely identified in our systems and will have access to any photos he is given access to. Not only your photos, but any person that have his email in their addressbook on Expono.
As an example, maybe you have other family members on Expono. If they add his email to their contact list and to their own family group, he will have access to see all their photos too.
That is the beauty of it!
2. Currently you must have an Expono account in order to download the photo. We are working on this at the moment. We will enable download by non-Expono users very soon.
Hope this answers your questions.
I’m happy
