Photo sharing

[Enquiries]

I am Planning to use a QNAP TS-464 and QuMagie to archive our picture collection. I have watched a lot of test videos on Youtube, but I can not find any info on sharing the whole collection. Want to share with my family over internet, but need to restrict access and changes. What is possible, and do other tools offer more possibilities?
Maybe this is a subject that could be covered in one of your very good and instructive videos?

The QNAP TS-464 with QuMagie is a great choice for archiving photos. QuMagie allows you to organize and view your photos, but sharing them with restricted access can be done through a few different methods.

Here’s how you can manage it:

QuMagie Photo Sharing: You can create shared albums in QuMagie and grant specific access permissions to different users. This allows you to share albums with family members over the internet. You can restrict editing and ensure only viewing is allowed.

QNAP's MyCloudNAS: If you want to make the whole collection accessible remotely, you can use QNAP's MyCloudNAS service to share folders securely. You can set permissions for each shared folder (view only, no edits) to ensure users can only access but not modify files.

Using Qfile or Qsync: These apps allow you to share specific folders, and you can control read/write access as well. They offer syncing capabilities for easier access across devices.

If you're looking for more advanced features, tools like Google Photos, Plex, or Synology's Photo Station (if you decide to explore alternatives) might offer additional functionalities, such as more granular access control or easier integration with media servers.

Regarding the video, that’s a great idea! It would be useful for many users. Thank you for the suggestion, I’ll consider it!
