How to share a large photo album without Google or iCloud

Not everyone has a Google account or an iPhone. Here’s how to share a big album with anyone, without asking them to sign up.

In short
  • Google and iCloud albums work best inside their own world.
  • A Room is one link that opens in any browser.
  • Nobody you share with needs an account.
STEP 1

Know where the usual albums get stuck

Google Photos asks people who add photos to have a Google account. iCloud Shared Albums use the owner’s iCloud storage, and older albums reduce photos.

STEP 2

Upload the album to a Room

Add your photos and videos as they are. Nothing is compressed, and the Room has its own space, separate from your phone’s cloud.

STEP 3

Share one link with anyone

The link opens as a gallery in any browser, on any phone or computer. Download all gives them every file at once.

Questions

Does it use my Google or iCloud storage?

No. Files in a Room are stored by Just Send Files, separate from both.

How big can the album be?

Up to 5,000 files in a Room on Free, within your 10 GB. Paid plans hold more.

Can people add their own photos?

Yes, if the Room allows uploads. They do not need an account.

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