Google allows the creation of a shared photo album within Google Photos. Here is a quick tutorial. Imagine a situation in which individuals visit the zoo and want to combine their best images into a collaborative album.<\/span><\/p>\n

Step 1 – Someone needs to create the shared album. If this is you, here is what you do.<\/p>\n

From your Google photos account, select the + icon<\/p>\n

\"sharephoto1\"<\/a><\/p>\n

A drop down menu should appear and share album will be one of the options<\/p>\n

\"sharephoto2\"<\/a><\/p>\n

Step 2 – make your initial contributions<\/p>\n

You Photos collection will open and you can then select the images you want to add to the collaborative album.\u00a0You should then select create (upper right-hand corner).\"sharephoto3\"<\/a><\/p>\n

Step 3 – enter name for the shared album<\/p>\n

Enter a title for the shared album and then select the three dot icon<\/p>\n

\"sharephoto4\"<\/a><\/p>\n

Step 4 – Share and generate link<\/p>\n

When the three dot icon is selected a dialog box appears with an address for the shared collection. You could provide this address to others if all you want to do is share your selections.<\/p>\n

\"sharephoto4a\"<\/a><\/p>\n

Step 5 – Return to your photos home page and select shared albums<\/p>\n

This may seem a little strange, but the next step is to return to your photos home. From this location, access your shared album(s).<\/p>\n

\"sharephoto5\"<\/a><\/p>\n

Step 6 – Select album you want designated for group contributions<\/p>\n

Select the shared album you intend to be used for shared contributions.<\/p>\n

 <\/p>\n

\"sharephoto5a\"<\/a><\/p>\n

You should now see a slider to allow others to contribute images (not just view what you have shared).<\/p>\n

Send the link to others<\/p>\n

\"sharephoto5b\"<\/a><\/p>\n

Step 7 – Others connect with the link provided<\/p>\n

At this point, your work is done and it is time for your collaborators. When someone uses the link you provided, they must first sign in.<\/p>\n

\"sharephoto6\"<\/a><\/p>\n

They then join to add photos.<\/p>\n

\"sharephoto7\"<\/a><\/p>\n

An icon should now appear allowing the selection of photos from their Google Photos.<\/p>\n

\"sharephoto8\"<\/a><\/p>\n

 <\/p>\n
