That’s awesome Nello Aun , I totally get why sorting out your Shared Links issue was so important, it makes a huge difference when everything runs smoothly. By the way, we’ve got a dedicated corner of the Community just for photographers. It’s a great spot to connect with others, share tips, and pick up some new ideas. I think you’ll really like it.
