How to get notified when someone adds photos to your album

No need to keep checking the album. Here’s how you find out the moment friends add their photos.

In short
  • Someone adds photos, you get a notification.
  • An email tells you too.
  • Tap it and you see what’s new.
STEP 1

Watch the bell

When a friend adds files, the bell on Just Send Files shows it, for example “Ana added 12 files”. Tap it and the Room opens on what’s new.

STEP 2

Or let the email find you

You also get an email titled “New files in” and the name of your Room. Handy when you made the Room days ago and forgot about it.

STEP 3

Too many emails? Turn them off

In your account you can switch email notifications off. The bell keeps working, so you still see who added what.

Questions

Do I get an email for my own uploads?

No. The email is for files someone else adds.

Will I get one email per photo?

No. Uploads are grouped, so a friend adding 30 photos is one notification.

Do guests get notifications?

Guests who sign in see their own, for example when their request to join is answered.

One link. Everyone’s photos.
Free up to 10 GB. Guests never need an account.
