Uploading into a Shared (or sharable) album #127

I am just startling to use Jiotty but feel it is what I need to be able to provide access to a folder structure of photos. My question is about being able to share ALL the resulting photos from a single link. I take a lot of photos at various events and want to be able to publicly share a link to the top level folder. Google seems to insist on a Shareable folder being created prior but then I don't think there is a way that Jiotty can upload to that? I am not aware of a way to make all photos public either

Very much appreciate any assistance

Albums in Google Photos are not hierarchical. So to put all photos under certain folder in a single album, regardless of the number of sub-folders, you need to configure the relevant folder depth to be 2. This way if you then tell Jiotty to upload from a certain folder, there will be only one album created per each of that folder's sub-folders. Then you can go to Google Photos web site, find the album(s) and share them normally, Jiotty does not create shareable albums itself, although it theoretically could, but I don't think you need this in your case.
