How to Disable Sharing in PhotoBiz Client Galleries

Overview

PhotoBiz Client Galleries lets you share private, password-protected image galleries with your customers. You can control whether customers see the built-in Share option for an event, individual images, and favorites.

This guide explains how to turn off sharing for a Client Galleries event. When sharing is disabled, the Share icon will not appear in the gallery interface, and gallery thumbnail images will not be included through the built-in sharing tools.

Disabling sharing also changes how favorites can be emailed. When sharing is enabled, customers can send their favorited images to the photographer and to family or friends by email. When sharing is disabled, favorites can only be sent directly back to the photographer.

Important Note: 

Allowing sharing in Client Galleries may include a thumbnail image from your event gallery when the link is shared. Disabling sharing prevents that thumbnail from being shared through the built-in PhotoBiz sharing tools.

Disabling sharing removes the PhotoBiz Share option from the event. It does not prevent someone from manually copying the event URL from their browser and sending it by email, text message, social media, or another method.

If your event is password protected, anyone who receives a copied event link will still need the event password to view the gallery.
