Folders are best for long-term organization across events, years, or client groups. Use folder-level privacy and naming conventions to keep your library easy to manage.
Create folder
Create folders and subfolders to organize albums by event, client, year, or category. After creating a folder, you can place new albums inside it or move existing albums into it.
Creating your folder is divided in two sections.
- Describe
- Security and Collaboration
Describe folder
Describe your folder with a title, description, and date(s).
- Title
- This is the only required field. Album Title must be from 1 to 40 characters.
- URL
- This is your URL to share your folder, so you can share this direct link of your folder with friends and family. Once the web address is created it cannot be changed. Keep the default value if unsure.
- Date(s)
- Modify the month, day, and year of your event if necessary.
- Description
- Enter an folder description. Use HTML or text.
Create URL
While signed in, open title-row Share → Share link on the folder listing to copy the public folder URL, or Private link for an unlisted
/c/… address (see Share button and Private Links for a folder). The folder URL is created when you create the folder and cannot be changed later; to get a new path, create a new folder, move albums, then delete the old folder.Move existing album to new folder
Move your album to a folder easily. To do this, log in your account and go to the folder of the album and do these steps:
- Click on album number and a window will pop up.
- Select 2nd option.
- Select the folder you like to move to.
- The album will be moved to the new folder.
Folder Security
ImageEvent provides various levels of security from public sharing to owner-only folders. There are 3 privacy levels. You may add a guest password to a folder.
Select "Shared" for your general use. This folder will appear on your Home page and navigation to other albums. You may add a guest password for protection.
Select "Hidden" to hide your folder. This folder does not appear on your Home page or navigation in albums that are not in it's folder. To share the folder, you have to use the direct URL to get the folder. You may add a guest password for extra protection.
Select "Personal" to have for only personal use. Only when you are logged in you can access the folder. You may not share the folder or send invitations.
Adding guest password to URL
If you have a guest password to your folder, you can include that in the URL. Your guests will not be required to enter a guest password to get to your album.
- Append the following to the URL: "?pa=<GUESTPASSWORD>"
