How to Create a Shared Album on Mac using iPhoto?

Last Updated :

Sharing an album is an easy way to share your photos and videos with other people you choose. They can download, view, like and comment on your photos and videos. You can allow them to add their own photos and videos to your album using Mac, Windows PC or iOS device. If you turn ON 'Public Website' option located in your shared album settings, then anyone can view your album on the web, if they don't have iCloud Photo Sharing set up.

Following are the steps to Create a Shared Album on Mac using iPhoto:

  1. Open "iPhoto" app on your Mac.
  2. Select the photos and videos which you want to share.
  3. Click "Share" button located in the toolbar.
  4. Click "iCloud".
  5. Click "New Photo Stream".
  6. Enter email addresses of the people to invite and name of the shared stream.
  7. If you want to allow people to add their own photos and videos to your shared stream, then select "Subscribers Can Post" option.
  8. If you want to allow people to view your shared stream on the web, then select "Public Website" option.
  9. Click "Share" button.

PicBackMan does exactly what it's supposed to. It's quick and efficient. It runs unobtrusively in the background and has done an excellent job of uploading more than 300GB of photos to 2 different services. After having lost a lot of personal memories to a hard drive crash, it's nice to know that my photos are safe in 2 different places.

LOVE this program! Works better than ANY other program out there that I have found to upload thousands of pictures WITH SUB-FOLDERS to SmugMug! Thank you so much for what you do! :) #happycustomer

I pointed PicBackMan at a directory structure, and next time I looked - all the photos had uploaded! Pretty cool. I use SmugMug and while I really like it, the process of creating directories in is pretty laborious when you need to make 80+ at a time. This was a breeze. Thank you!
