Share all Picasa web albums with other users

Question

I know it's possible to share individual albums but is it possible to share them all?

All the photos that me and my girlfriend have are stored on my Picasa account but she'd like access too.

Answer 1

At this stage, this isn't possible, though it has been requested a lot on the Picasa help pages.

Answer 2

You can get a secret link for either your Public or Unlisted Albums. http://support.google.com/picasa/bin/answer.py?hl=en&answer=173224

(Thanks to Jeremy Simon for posting the link to the help file. I guess they updated it since he first posted).

Click on Public Gallery or Unlisted Gallery on the My Photos tab to find a single, unchanging URL to share all of your albums with friends and family. Public Gallery

People who visit your public gallery URL - picasaweb.google.com/username - can view all of your public albums, plus any albums that you've explicitly shared with them. Unlisted Gallery

People who visit your unlisted gallery URL will see all of your public albums, all albums set to a visibility of 'Limited, anyone with the link,' as well as any albums that you've explicitly shared with them. This gallery includes a unique authorization key in the web address; the key is a combination of letters and numbers that make the address difficult to guess.

Answer 3

At this point it's not possible, but there is a way to do that a little bit faster, that going into individual albums and sharing them.

1. Go to your Google+
2. Go to Photos
3. Choose Your Albums
4. Click on Change how your albums are shared

From there you'll see a list of your albums and you can easily change the visibility of each album much faster.
