We've made it to the last section of your Gallery Settings - the Advanced tab! This may be the last tab, but it contains some very key settings that should not be overlooked!
We'll also be taking a look at Mobile Apps and how you can publish multiple Galleries from the same set of images in your Collection.
Advanced
The Advanced tab is where you’ll find a few extra ways to streamline your gallery workflow and take your client’s experience to the next level!
Social Media Sharing
The first setting in this tab is Social Media Sharing. When enabled, your client will see a share button in their Gallery which allows them to share the link to the Gallery or a direct image by email, text (when viewing on mobile), or social media. This type of sharing always links back to their gallery, so don’t worry about the files themselves being sent out. Social Media Sharing is a quick and easy way to empower your clients to share the photos they love!
Language
You can easily change the language of an individual Gallery using the Language drop-down menu.
We currently support the following languages:
English
Dutch
French
German
Italian
Portuguese
Russian
Spanish
Swedish
Vietnamese
Embed Media
This setting allows you to include a video or slideshow in your gallery. CloudSpot doesn’t host the embedded content directly but rather displays the media from the following sites:
SmartSlides
Animoto
Vimeo
YouTube
You can use the Other URL to display media hosted on Dropbox or Google Drive - allowing clients to view and download those files directly within their Gallery.
Presets
If you plan to use the same settings across more than one Gallery, we recommend saving them as a Preset! When you go to publish a new Gallery, simply select your desired preset in the General tab and the preset will automatically apply those saved Settings. All you have to do is hit Publish!
Publish
After you've finished customizing all of the Settings, it's time to publish your Gallery. 🎉
Once published, you can view the Gallery by clicking the Galleries & Apps button in the top right-hand corner of your Collection. From here, you can preview the Gallery, quickly grab the link, revisit Settings, and Email it to your client.
Multiple Galleries
One amazing feature Within CloudSpot is the ability to publish more than one Gallery from the same set of images.
This is a great way to keep all Galleries pertaining to a particular event or photoshoot organized in one place. For example, you can publish a separate Gallery to share with vendors or create a Gallery just for sharing on your Portfolio. The best part is additional Galleries published from the same set of images do not contribute to your Storage usage. 🙌
To publish a new Gallery, simply click Publish New from the Galleries & Apps menu!
Mobile Apps
Mobile Apps are mobile-only Galleries that can be saved directly to your client's phone! Mobile Apps are a great way for clients to have quick access to their Gallery images without having to download all of them to their phone's camera roll. They also carry all the same functionality a regular Gallery does - your clients can still download, favorite, and purchase items from the store. 🤩
In the next article, we'll discuss the best practices for delivering your gallery directly to your clients! Read on, friend.
