Important:

As of May 4th, 2025 the Shared Gallery app will no longer be supported. To ensure your site continues running without interruptions, we recommend switching to the Anyfile app.

With the Shared Gallery app, you can start sharing your photos and videos by uploading them to your gallery.

Customize how your Shared Gallery looks and behaves by changing the settings, the access permissions, the title and description, the layout of your albums and photos, and the design of your gallery.

Tip:

You can also upload and manage your media from the Shared Gallery section of your site's dashboard.

Customizing the app's settings

You can customize the Shared Gallery app through the Settings tab in the app's Settings panel. Here, you can control access levels for site visitors, enable features like comments, likes, tagging, and video uploads, choose the text direction within the app, and even delete all media if it's no longer needed.

To customize the settings:

Go to your editor.
Select the app in your editor.
Click Settings.
Click the Settings tab.
Click Set permissions to set the level of access that your site visitors have to your gallery. Learn more about permissions

Click Back.
(Optional) Click Manage site members to view and manage your site members in your site's dashboard.
Enable or disable commenting on photos and videos, tagging members on media, and video uploads under General.
Select a direction for the app's text under App direction. For example, if your site uses a right-to-left language, you can change the direction of your gallery to match it.

Tip:

Click Delete All if you want to remove all albums, photos, and videos in your gallery. This permanently deletes everything in your gallery including comments, views, and likes.

Changing the app's text and design

You can adjust the text and design of your gallery from the Settings panel in your site's editor. Create an engaging title and description to attract site visitors and customize the gallery's appearance to align with your site. Options for customization include the title and description, font style and color, button and icon colors, border colors, width, and shape, as well as hover effects for items in your gallery.

To change the text and design:

Go to your editor.
Select the app in your editor.
Click Settings.
Click the Text tab.
Add a title and description for your gallery.

Customizing the app's layout

You can change the layout of the photos and albums in your gallery on the Settings panel of the app in your site's Editor. Customize the layout of your gallery and change settings such as the size and spacing of your photos and videos, the icons that are displayed on them, the style of your album cards, and the info that's displayed about each album.
