Shared albums can have both collaborators and viewers, and as many as you like. Storage is only counted once, for the person who uploaded the photo.
This complements the collaborative "collect" links that ente already supports (where people can add photos without ente accounts). This also goes another step further to improve partner sharing.

2023-01-11
Introducing, Quick links.
Select some photos, choose "Create link" from the selection options, and, well, that's it! You'll get a link that you can share, end-to-end encrypted and secure.
Your quick links will appear at the bottom of the share tab so that you can remove them when they're no longer needed, or convert them to regular albums by renaming them if you want them to stick around.
Apart from that, this update also includes some other quality of life features:
* You can search for files by their names now.
* There is now a button on the albums tab to remove all empty albums in one go.
* Under Settings > General > Advanced, you'll now see an option to view and manage how ente uses temporary storage on your device.
0.7.2
2023-01-04
Important notice: Existing users will need to login again after installing this update.
Details: The Apple developer account that we use to publish ente Photos has changed. This unfortunately means that existing users who are already signed in will need to login again, since the updated version cannot access their credentials stored in the iOS keychain by the old account. We are sorry for the inconvenience.
In the future, this new developer account will allow us to provide a single login for both your ente Photos and ente Auth app by automatically sharing their credentials (as they're both published using the new developer account).
What's new in this update:
- View details of the temporary storage consumed by ente on your device, and clear out existing cached data, under Settings > General > Advanced.
- Improvements to the look and contrast of dialog boxes to make them easier to use. This version updates many of them, and the rest will be updated in the next version.
0.7.0
2022-12-19
* Collect photos from anyone!
You can now enable "Allow adding photos" under shared link settings to allow anyone with access to the link to also add photos to that shared album. They don't need an ente account.
This is the perfect fit for occasions where you want to ask all your friends and relatives who attended the event to add the photos they took to an album. You can then prune them there; plus everyone can view them in a single place.
* Customize photo grid size
You can now change the number of photos that are shown in a row. Since this was a much requested feature we've released it as an option in Settings > General > Advanced; later we'll also try a gesture for easier access.
* Better multi-select, and hide
The item selector gets a new, expanded look with clearly marked actions. We'll use this revamped space to show even more actions you can take on selected photos.
And we've already added new actions! You can now select multiple items and hide all of them in one go.
* Per album free up space
There is now an option to free up space within each on device album. This provides both a more granular, and faster, way to save storage your phone.
* Longer photo descriptions
The previous 280 character limit has been increased to 5000.

* Customizable photo grid size!

There is now an option to free up space per on device album. This provides both a more granular, and faster, way to lighten your phone.

* Easier access to favorites
Your favorites now have a special heart icon, and will appear first in the list of albums. Archived albums also get a new indicator.
* Initial support for empty albums
Any empty albums that you already have will now show up in ente. You can choose to delete them, or add more photos to them. In the future we'll support more workflows with empty albums.
* Tweak video uploads
ente will now keep videos temporarily cached until they get successfully uploaded. This will make video uploads work better as long as the app is not force killed.
0.6.56
2022-11-10
* Hide your photos!
On popular demand, ente now supports photos that are hidden behind a lock. This is in addition to the existing functionality to archive your photos so that they do not show in your timeline (but are otherwise visible).
* Add a description to your photos
You can now add a caption / description to your photos and videos. These will show up on the photo view. To add a description, tap on the info icon to view the photo details and enter your text.
* And search photos descriptions too
Yes, it doesn't end there! You can also search your photos using their descriptions. This allows you to, for example, tag your photos and quickly search for them.
* Save live photos
You can now download and save live photos.

The biggest user visible change that comes with this is the ability to search your photos. You will now see the search icon on your main timeline. Currently you can use it to search for albums, dates, months, years, and file types. But that's not it – this is just the beginning, and we'll be adding support for many for types of searches going forward now.
Behind the scenes, there have been a big rewrite in the way ente syncs with the on device folder. What this would mean for you is that the "On device" albums in ente would better reflect the state of the corresponding albums on your native gallery. This already worked fine, but we rewrote this logic to better handle some corner cases, especially in scenarios where the same photo is present in multiple on-device albums.
And as usual, we have made various small improvements:
- There is now a new option to delete an album.
- In file info, you can see all albums that a particular photo or video are a part of.
