Invite people to a shared album
How shared / invited albums work for collaboration — and how they differ from Encrypted / Locked private storage.
What it is
Shared albums let you collaborate with people you invite (for example personal shared albums or team contributors). That is different from Encrypted / Locked album private storage, which turns sharing off. Use shared albums for collaboration; use encryption for solo private storage.
Why it helps
Keep family or team contributions in one album without mixing that workflow with maximum-privacy encrypted vaults.
How to use it
- 1
Open a non-encrypted album you own.
- 2
Use invite / share / contributors controls for that album (or personal shared albums where available).
- 3
Invitees open the shared album from their account’s shared section.
- 4
If encryption is on, sharing stays blocked — Remove encryption… first if collaboration is the goal (and content is allowed to be shared).
