Sharing photos
Hi !Friendica Support,
I took a lot of photos and videos on a bike trip I recently went on. I'd like to share these photos and videos with the other participants of the trip on a platform that also gives them the ability to upload photos and videos for sharing. These participants are not (yet) users of Friendica. I'd also like to be able to limit this group sharing to just the participants of the trip -- in other words, I want to control access to the photos and videos. I've looked at the different kinds of account types (personal, organization, news, community group, etc) but if I understand them correctly, not one of them meets my requirements. Any thoughts?
Thank you!

@Dirk you should use Nextcloud for that.

Before you upload a large amount of image material to the instance, you should check with the admin whether this is ok.

With Friendica you can restrict access to the images... i.e. also to a certain group of people (the tour participants). This also makes it impossible for them to share the pictures directly with others.

However, as far as I know, uploading by others is not possible.

Even if this is the Friendica support forum... Hubzilla allows you to do exactly what you want. There you can create a non-public private community forum as a channel and allow members (who you allow to join) to upload. Sharing outside the forum is not possible there either.[footer]---

@Der Pepe (Hubzilla) ⁂ ⚝ Where can I get answers to questions about Hubzilla? I created an account, and the documentation describes a feature, guest tokens, that I want to use, but I can't find it in the software. Thanks!

Thank you @hoergen (Ai) and @Der Pepe (Hubzilla) ⁂ ⚝. I want to steer traffic toward the fediverse, and will take a look at both Nextcloud and Hubzilla.

The article is now also available in English...

You must first install the ‘Guest Access’ app and add it to the app menu. This is easy and is explained here:
