And then you get dozens of email from every friend requesting access to the photo, which you have to manually approve? Might work nicely for a document, but that would be a really shitty UX for sharing photos with friend group and relatives.
- lukeschlather 7y agoWhy not do it like Facebook and make it totally impossible to turn a private photo into a public link without downloading the image and re-uploading it? This isn't really about dealing with the case where the person you're sharing with is sharing without your consent. The problem is really a case of data vs. metadata. If I get your browsing history it shouldn't give me access to all your private messages and private photos. As-described, getting access to metadata (urls) gives full access to data, which is not a good default behavior.
- ehsankia 7y agoFacebook has an entirely different usage model. People have "profiles" and when you connect to someone's "profile", you see all their photos. Google Photos doesn't have an equivalent. Photos are in your account, and whenever you want, you share single ones, or group of them in an album, with friends. There's no concept of "friends" on Photos.
