ICY BOX Mediaserver User Guide 29
Sharing with family
Sharing an album with family makes it available to the other ICY BOX Mediaserver
users, unless their account blocks access. See "Let user access family folder” on page 71.
The album will appear in their Albums page.
To share the album with family, select Share with other family accounts.
Sharing with friends
Sharing an album with friends makes it available to selected contacts.
To share the album with your friends, select Share with friends.
Setting the From address
The first time you share an album with friends, ICY BOX Mediaserver will prompt you
for your email address. Emails sent by ICY BOX Mediaserver notifying your friends
about shared albums will indicate they are from this email address. Each ICY BOX
Mediaserver user can set their own email address. You can change your email address
later. See "Sharing Emails Sender" on page 62.
Setting an end date
By default, an album is shared indefinitely. Setting an end date determines how long the
album will be shared.
To set an end date for sharing, select Share Until. By default, the album will be shared
for one month. Use the calendar to change the end date.
Limiting access
When you share an album with friends, ICY BOX Mediaserver can send them an email
notification that contains a link to the album. By default, anyone who clicks the link can
view the album. Limiting access allows you to require a password.
To limit access, select Password-protect this album. When a friend first clicks the link
in the email notification, they are prompted to create a password. Next time they click
the link, they are prompted for this password.
Emailing your friends
When you share an album with friends, ICY BOX Mediaserver can send them an email
notification that contains a link to the album.
