Very good remote photo server

Once I got this set up, I really like the value of the server and able to show my photos and share with friends. I have friends using this as a specific login for all my friends example and they seem to like it and they can’t see their photos and they can see the sheriff folders also.

Unimpressed

Underwhelmed and unimpressed by the functionality, and lack thereof and difficulty of use. Not the product I would expect from an industry segment leader.
