Galleries and storage

Private galleries for creators and clients: when they work better than temporary links

A private gallery is better than separate temporary links when several videos must remain organized for the same client or project.

What you should know

Temporary links suit one-off delivery, while a private gallery provides a stable collection, comments and ongoing access. Creators can keep the gallery unlisted and share one entry point instead of many unrelated links.

Galleries and storage: Ways to keep, organize and embed videos.

When it is useful

Before uploading, define what the other person actually needs to do: watch the video, download it, verify information or keep it for longer.

  • Use a gallery for a sequence, portfolio review or recurring client delivery.
  • Use individual temporary links for isolated clips that should expire quickly.
  • Control gallery membership, comments and visible metadata according to the project.

Recommended process

A short, verifiable workflow reduces failures and avoids unnecessary re-uploads.

  1. Create a gallery with a clear client or project name.
  2. Upload and order the videos logically.
  3. Configure access and optional watermarking.
  4. Share the gallery link and remove access when the relationship or review ends.

Practical checks

Compatibility depends on more than the filename extension. The codec, connection, browser and device also matter.

  • A gallery without automatic expiration requires active management.
  • Do not mix files from unrelated clients in the same collection.
  • Embedding a video can expose the player wherever the page is accessible.

Limits, privacy and responsibility

A private gallery is not a substitute for a backup, contract or payment platform. Its purpose is organized viewing and delivery.

Key idea: Choose a gallery when organization matters more than automatic deletion.

Frequently asked questions
