Transferring Photos to another account.

I have over 1900 memories associated with my account. Unfortunately about 200 of them are associated with my husbands family. Is there an easier way to transfer them to his memories page than downloading them all before deleting them from FS and then uploading as well as labeling them all again? I would love to know of a better solution to my issue.

Thank you.

    there is no way to batch transfer from one account to another.

    BUT - does it really matter that they are loaded on your account and not your husbands??

    what are you really trying to accomplish here? (why does it matter to you whose account they are under).

    I have uploaded hundreds of photos for my wife's family. I havent really seen that it makes a difference in my case. (though of course if anyone attempts to make contact - they contact me and not my wife - but that fine with me)

    My only thoughts on sending the pictures to my husbands account is that mine may become over loaded some day. However, with only 1900 or so, I have a ways to go to getting close to the 5,000 picture mark when the system begins to bog down.

    Thanks for your advice. I will continue to have them on my memories page.

    Make sure that you are putting your items in albums (folders). This way you can go directly to a specific folder and you don’t have to wait for the entire gallery to load. And it will be much easier to find things if you organize by subject into albums Everything will NOT be all mixed together

    there is no specific hard limit to the number of items you can load to memories. But once you get beyond like 10,000 you will start seeing the system to get slower and slower as you add more. Above like 20,000 items you run the risk of overloading the system or your browser
