Library

Browsing the library

Updated

Everyone at home opens their own library in a browser, at the server's address. It's fast because it all comes from a computer in your house, over your own Wi-Fi.

What's in it

  • A timeline by the date each photo was taken.
  • A mosaic view and a zoomable grid.
  • A photo's details: open a photo to see its date, size, camera and folders.
  • Albums: the phones' folders become albums.
  • Favourites, the trash and downloads. Only you empty your trash.
  • Videos play in the browser. See Videos.
  • Light and dark themes, and a layout for phone browsers.

Each person sees their own library only: their timeline, folders, favourites and trash.

Folders and drives

Photos already on the server's disks show on Home with everything else, and are listed under "Folders & drives". Folders of the same name merge on Home unless the account turns merging off under Settings › Library. See Folders and drives.

Not yet

Search, people and faces, a map, memories and sharing between people are planned. See Sharing.
