Cache is part of AMP spec. What author seems to refer to is only a 2/3 of AMP spec - Subset of HTML and JS library. Since the beginning AMP team was clear that AMP is not very useful without cache. I do agree with all of the concerns r

Email is the way to go. I only wrote this because I was shocked too. I genuinely did not expect this behavior, and I've been using Google Photos a lot in the past year.

I am the same guy... Re AMP, I was not just posting to gain up-votes, I believed in all the things I said. But I did underplayed the benefits that AMP provided, for which I apologized. You can read more about that here if you'd like:

Agreed, I am mostly bothered by UI that allows me to share these sacred private URL without alerting me that there is no additional security in place to insure that only user's I've shared the link with will be able to access my d

Correction, it does show this warning in some flows: https://www.alexkras.com/wp-content/uploads/share-4.png Unfortunately for me, I was using the other flows to share my photos.

Google Drive creates a proxy link that makes sure that user actually has the proper privileges to access the content, before doing the redirect. This can be seen by inspecting image link in Google Drive. I was simply expecting to see the sa

English is my second language. Re attention seeking, I though it was a big deal. Both my wife and I were shocked by it, so I wanted to share. Coinbase link, is my experiment of trying to monetize my blog. Like I said, 2 kids...

I am advocating for a better UI that is clearly communicates what will happen when post is shared. Sort of like Google Drive does it. Make it easy, sure, but let me know the trade offs.

Hmm, looks like you may be right. While it’s a different issue from the one I initially raised (since there is no UI offering me to share this URL), it might be a deal breaker.

My apologies. Father of two little kids here and didn't know if it was going to get any attention. I just had my wife proof read it, but if you find some other typos, please let me know.

Where does it say it in Google Photos? I only see email, with no warning that album will be public. The Via Sharable link screenshot is from Google drive, which works as expected.

You are welcome! I figured I wasn’t alone.

They do just that in Google drive. That is why I was so surprised that Google Photos did not behave in the same way.

I am not saying it’s bad for all use cases, but it should be better communicated and optional. If I share something with my family, who are all on Google, I would like it to ONLY be available to them. Right now there is no way to do it.
