What is it for?
The owner of such a photo website can invite other users to add new materials to the Internet album and share it with all or selected contacts.
It should be added that the function Shared Albums allows you to not only share photos and videos, but also rate and comment on them.
This feature can be very useful in travel or business trips – the footage can be automatically sent to a certain circle of people or put in the public domain.
The resulting link to Shared Album can be viewed in the browser of any computer, tablet or smartphone.
