Collaborate

Srarna allows you to collaborate with others in two ways:

• Collaborative albums
• Collaborative links

Collaborative Albums

Collaborative albums let multiple Srarna users add photos to the same shared album. Storage is only counted once, regardless of the number of collaborators and viewers.

• The owner of the album is the person who created it.
• The owner can add collaborators and viewers by their email, change their permissions at any time, and remove them.
• Collaborators can add photos (and videos) to the shared album.
• The storage of the photo is counted towards the owner of the photo, the person who uploaded it. This means photos can be added to a collaborative album without incurring additional storage costs.
• The owner of the photo can remove it from the album or delete it.
• The owner of the album can remove all photos from the album (but can only delete the photos they own).
• When a collaborator is removed from a shared album (or leaves the album), any photos they'd uploaded will also be removed.

Currently, collaborative albums can only be used from the mobile app. Collaborators will see them in view-only mode on the web and desktop apps. We're actively working on adding full support for them on web and desktop too.

Collaborative Links

Collaborative links let you collaborate with people who might not have a Srarna account or the Srarna apps.

• You can create a public link, and anyone with access to the link will be able to view the shared photos using just their web browser (no login required).
• You can enable the "Allow adding photos" option on a public link to let people add photos the same way (from their web browser, no login required).

Such collaborative links are also sometimes called "collect links," as they allow you to collect photos from people without them needing Srarna accounts. A common use case for this is collecting event and trip photos from a large group of people.

The storage for the photos added to a collaborative link is counted towards the album owner. The owner can also remove these photos at any time.
