Implement Shared Photos to show under main Photos

[AndyXheli]

The feature

Hello I think i would be a nice idea if a user shares a photo or album that those photos show under the main root photos tab of users that is getting the share. . At the moment the only way for the user that you've shared to photos with would be to view them would be under the sharing tab

Part of this is done in the next release (1.86) where you can show the media of your partners on your timeline

Hi @alextran1502 I did see the change for 1.86 got a question. When i add the partner now I'm able to see all the photo i was looking more for just photos are are under the shared albums that would should under the timeline not everything dose that make sense

[AndyXheli]

Correct I can see that if you add a partner you will see all their photos and vice versa. My question would be would there be a way to implement that if a user shares an album with another user all the content in that album which would show under the users timeline I think this would be really cool feature since most users share albums with one another then give access to their full Photos library. What do you think ?

[alextran1502]

Ah I see, I agree this would be a cool feature!

@alextran1502 Should be create a new request on this so we can track it or use this ?

[alextran1502]

We can use this one to track

Perfect, Can you please reopen 😃

Partner sharing is not helpful, because it is all or nothing. If we could at least mark favorites in shared folders and they will be added, this would be fine. I don't want all assets automatically to be added. This is like spam. Only assets, I dedicate like, should be added. But liking (add to favorites) is not yet possible (at least on android mobile).

In your use case, I would just use a shared album and put here only the photos you want to share.

this is exactly, what I do. I just wanted to extrapolate the feature request from a partner context to a shared folder context. But maybe, this should be a different feature request.
