I know there is a few of you here and I'm hoping one of you can help me out.

What method do you use to share numerous pictures? As far as I can tell, the two ways are creating a shared link in the file manager app or creating a shared album of sorts in the Photo Station App but each has their shortfall.

The Photo Station app does it exactly the way I want it to be done. Sends a link containing thumbnails to all the photos you shared. Your can browse through the thumbnails, double click to open and then left/right arrow your way though the photos as your browse them. Much like you would looking at an album on your local PC. Problem being with this method is you have to add each picture manually (drag and drop) which would be a massive PITA if you are trying to share a few hundred photos of a recent trip. You cant seem to just point the app to an entire folder. Also, it seems to be expecting these pictures to be coming from your PC. Doesn't appear to be any way to drag and drop the pictures you already have stored on your NAS which is kinda dumb.

Using the File Manger app you seem to be able to create a link to a folder but it acts as a bit of a download station. In order to see the full sized photos, people appear to need to download each and every file. Not really ideal.

What's your method?
