Secure sharing of albums and assets

@wittjosiah

am I correct in assuming that this would only work from a self-hosted server (as opposed to running the desktop application)?

Short answer: all editions of PhotoStructure will have the same external functionality, so sharing will be available even to PhotoStructure for Desktop users.

Long answer:

All editions of PhotoStructure, running on any operating system, are designed to be interoperable with each other, and the main user interface is the same, including features like sharing.

In other words, you can “test the waters” by using PhotoStructure for Desktops, import the files on one computer, and then move your library to either a server or another computer, install PhotoStructure on that computer, and the library will open seamlessly (even if it’s a different operating system).

while I’d be comfortable self-hosting to share my own photos, I know many people (my family, for example) would not.

Exactly: my family is the same way. The goal is to make even my less-computer-literate family members feel comfortable with running their own instance of PhotoStructure.
