Sharing your Google Photo Albums

On a previous post I showed you how to use Google's Picasa to upload your photo and video albums to Google Photos (Picasa). Now I am going to show you how to share those albums and photos with your friends and family.

First, log in to your Google+ account at https://plus.google.com/. Once you are logged in, navigate to the 'Photos' section and choose 'Albums'.

In the 'Albums' section you will see a thumbnail for all the albums you have uploaded.

Select the album you want to share by clicking on it.

In the album view, underneath the album name, you will see that the album is either visible to 'Only You' or to 'Limited'.

No matter which visibility your album is set to, click on the link that says 'Only You' or 'Limited'.

On the following pop-up window you will have the option to share the album by either entering the email addresses in the top field, or, you can choose to copy the link to the album and email it yourself.

Anyone that has the link will have access to view the album. You can email it, post it on another site, etc.

That's it. You have now shared that album with your friends and family.

You will have to repeat the steps above for each album you want to share. Unfortunately Google+ does not yet support sharing multiple albums at once, but I expect that option will come in future updates.
