Windows 10: Share a photo album with ONLY family microsoft accounts

Hi everyone,


Back in the day, I was able to share photos with my family using onedrive. It let me select their Microsoft Account and select view or edit. I've tried to do this with a photo album tonight, but the only option seems to be to share it with a link... i.e. no security (its public for anyone who gets hold of the link)


Am I missing something? This seems incredible that Office Home (with Premium OneDrive storage) will not allow secure sharing of family photos. I see apple let you create a family album and share it only with those in your family group, but crucially, they authenticate the access.


Can someone tell me if secure sharing has been removed? (p.s. I know you can add a password, but that's not what I'm looking for, I want the kids to be able to see the album in their OneDrive by using the Microsoft account on their device and not some stupid password.)


Any help appreciated,


Thanks.

:)

Share a photo album with ONLY family microsoft accounts

Hi Andre,

thanks for the quick reply. Thats the problem. Its an open share for anyone who has the link. In the past i could select my family members and add them. They would have to authenticate with their respective Microsoft accounts in order to view.

This is now sharing the content with a link which may as well be posted on a public forum. ( onedrive, like other file sharing services) is constantly trawled by bots for open links and posted in unsavoury places. Not really suitable for sharing family photos.

 

Windows 10 Photo app. How to send or share Albums to Facebook?

Just started playing with Photos app Wndows 10.

Learned how to make my own albums and choose cover page and title the album.

Want to share, or send, to Facebook.

Already know how to make albums on Facebook.

Thought, perhaps wrongly, I could make albums in Photo app

Then send or share to FB.

When I try to share a single photo from Photo App, there's a "share" button on the task bar

Click that, it says, get an app from the store

Went through those steps to choose a FB app, closed, shut down, restarted.

Still not able to share from Photo App.

Suggestions welcome.

Thank you.
