Originally created by @citadella on GitHub (May 25, 2021).

So I'm primarily using PhotoPrism as a photo archive for sharing with people. I know there are other requests to add users, but I'd also like to see a 'shared album' link on the left menu. Or just somewhere. I have ˜600 folders so once I share one trying to find it based on a watermark icon at the top of one of the thumbnail is nearly impossible, so having somewhere cataloged of all my shared albums would be helpful, either to revoke it or to reuse it.

We should have two sections or one with a filter for "shared with me" and "shared with others"

I also think that the sharing feature has a lot more potential. Specifically I want to give people a link and then add albums and folders over time. E.g. example.com/s/family-7d8

Currently I manually add the last family-7d8 to new shares and they show up under the same link. So that's already working great. This feature could be made more explicit and easier to use by:

suggest existing shares when sharing an album or folder. So I can easily add them to existing shares.
Overview page of shares. So I can easily see if something is missing. (already suggested by others)

This is indeed a great feature.

This should be added to the documentation until it is usable intuitively.
