Who can read, edit, comment on, or download info in a PRIVATE FOLDER?

Richard M Smith

If I have a PERSONAL FAMILY FOLDER ONLY FOR DESCENDENTS OF MY GRANDFATHER (for example)...

and let's say I add photos, histories, videos, recordings, stories, etc...

can I make this folder private to the general population but viewable by me and my cousins?

can all my cousins have rights to view, comment, edit, download, upload, etc. to this family folder? I want them to have right to do so.

Here is a Help Center document on Private Memories:

You can change whether a Memory is Public or Private - I do not see the option to make a Folder/Album Private -but you can certainly select some/all the Memories in an Album and mark them Public or Private. If marked Private the Memory is not shareable from you to others.

You would need to put the Album of items you want to share with cousins together and then Share that link with them (either in Social media options or by link in email) - then they would receive that 'notice' of the Public items you have for them in Memories.

I hope this helps!
