how to share albums
I have been putting pictures of my husband and our family on memories. On his family tree, I made an album of his mission. When I clicked on the picture to put in his album, it has nothing, but the album showed up also in my gallery and the pictures are there. I have hundreds of slides of his mission that I would like to put in his album so our children and grandchildren can see them. They can't because they are in my gallery and they can't see them until I have passed away.
I would hope that the tech department can help me to get those pictures so our family can see them.
Please can you help me get the pictures where I would like for them to go.
I appreciate you so much!

to share access to the album - simply copy and paste the URL in the browser when you are accessing it - and then send that URL to whoever you want to share the album with

It would be nice to have sharing controls be more granular in the Memories area, it would greatly enhance living families working together in building their histories in real time. For example, I'd love a shared story, album or memory of a family trip that only my family can collaborate and contribute to. Right now if my child creates a memory and tags me I don't see it, and vice-versa. It would be great when a living person is tagged in another person's memory, the tagged person could then have access to the memory (much like social media platforms). Or, like the example above. If I post memories of my childhood, I'd love to be able to give access to my children only (not public) so that when they click on my name from their Memories app, they would also see the memory - even though they may not be tagged in it.

If you create an album - and then share the URL of that album with your family
your family will see all the items in that album (if they are marked as public)
If you leave an item public - but leave off titles and descriptions - and place description in the comments field - no one else will be able to look these items up via the FIND option.
I for one leave most of my photos public.

also - just to clarify - if I tag a photo that has my LIVING uncle John Doe in it (that person record for living John Doe - is a record only in MY "private space") - -
If the real person John Doe - also creates an account - and has a person record for himself - - the system has no way of knowing that the record for John Doe in your private space - is the same John Doe - who also created an account )
Living people entered in your account - ONLY exist in your account - so you can mark a photo with the living people tagged - but the person records that are being linked - ONLY exist in your account to begin with.
FamilySearch just was never designed from the bottom up - to be a platform to collaborate and share info on living persons - - - too many complicated legal and privacy laws apply.
BUT Albums are a great way to share public items - and leaving off titles/descriptions makes them almost private from others.

Here is a photo of myself (I dont mind sharing it)
https://www.familysearch.org/photos/artifacts/72984753?cid=mem_copy
you cannot do a FIND on this photo by typing in my name
but I can share the URL with whoever I wish.
note it has no title or description (used for indexing) - but comments fields can be used in their place.
