Shared albums

Create an album for yourself or with others, and choose who can add photos and videos.

Create an album

  1. Open Albums in the sidebar and choose New album.
  2. Choose Just me to organize your own photos, or Together to invite people.
  3. Name it, then add photos and videos from your library. In a shared album, you can also upload new ones.

Invite people

  1. Invite someone by email: they join the album with a free MERCI! account.
  2. A Contributor adds photos and videos and can remove their own; a Viewer can view and download them.
  3. As the creator, you can change a member’s role, cancel an invitation or remove a member.

Album members see each other’s name and email address.

Whose storage is used

  1. Everything in a shared album counts toward its creator’s storage, whoever adds it.
  2. Adding a photo or video from your library puts a copy in the album: your original stays in your library, and the copy counts too.

Leave or delete an album

  1. Members can leave an album at any time; what they added stays in it.
  2. A member removed by the creator loses access; their contributions remain.
  3. Only the creator can delete a shared album: it is deleted for everyone with its contributions, and personal originals are kept.
  4. Deleting an account removes that person’s contributions and the albums they created.
