How to control Downloads in Expono PLUS
July 3, 2009
A great feature, PLUS users will learn to appreciate, is the option to make custom groups for contacts in Expono.
By planning, you can make the Expono PLUS account useful for restricting who can download, for both control and commercial purposes.
Download original files
Some are vary about who can download original photos and by utilizing custom groups and generic groups cleverly, users get a very flexible system.
Rules
1. Never set any photo- or album access right to the generic groups “friends” or “family”.
2. Make new custom groups for your friends.
- you may only have one group of friends, still call that group “My friends”.
- if not, make a useful name for each group of friends for easy recognition later.
3. Make new custom groups for your family
- if you treat all family the same just call it “My family”
- if you treat them differently, then make more groups ie “My family”, “Close family”, etc.
4. Now, you’ll only put people you want to download photos, in original format, in the generic groups “friends” or “family”, and at the same time put them in the appropriate custom friend/family groups.
At this point you’ll have full control over who can download and who can not. If you don’t want a person to download your original photos any more, then remove him/her from the generic group and leave them in the custom group.
You can set which group can download your originals in Me/Edit settings/Privacy,
or click here if you are logged in.
