Comment on Ask HN: Alternatives to Google Photosparent

Comments

Is it possible to use Ente just for the album sharing feature? I would like to upload a couple dozen images to a gallery and shared the link on social media. It’s not clear if I have save to give it access to all my photos to be able to use that feature. Ideally, I’d be able to create and share an album directly from Apple Photos to Ente.

Yes, you can do just that.

If you're using our mobile app, you can grant permissions to access specific images (instead of the whole gallery), and configure Ente to just back those up.

Once they've been backed up, you can create an album and share it with a link that comes with some configurations of its own[1].

Now if you are using our web app, you can ignore permissions bit altogether, and just create an album with the images you care about, and create a public link for that album.
