Share Collections with Users ​

Share collections directly with other Ente users. They'll have access through their Locker app with full end-to-end encryption.

How it works ​

When you share a collection with another Ente user:

  1. Your device encrypts the sharing keys using their public key
  2. Only their device can decrypt these keys
  3. They receive the shared collection in their Locker app
  4. Ente's servers never have access to the decrypted content

Sharing a collection ​

  1. Open the collection you want to share
  2. Tap the share button
  3. Select Share with Ente user
  4. Enter the person's Ente email address
  5. Tap Share

All items in the collection will be shared.

Sharing individual items ​

To share an individual item with an Ente user, add it to a collection and share the collection. Alternatively, you can create a public link for the item.
