How can I share a photo or album/folder by email?

Select the files you want to share and click the “Share by email” icon. The wizard that opens allows you to define your recipients, add a subject and a message, then send it to your contacts. If you click the “share by link” icon, you will get a sharing web link and you will be able to publish this on social media. Anyone with this link will be able to access the share (unlike the share by email, where only the recipient can see the share).
