Sharing a media pool

Share a pool via a link so others can rate along and download files.

Approx. 2 min read

You can share a media pool with clients or your team via a public link. Anyone who opens the link sees the same images and videos as you, can rate them and download them โ€“ with no maebe account of their own.

Note: Media pools are a Pro+ feature. You'll find the basics under What is a media pool?.

Creating the link

  1. Open the pool from the sidebar.
  2. Click the Share action.
  3. Choose how long the link should stay valid โ€“ 7, 30 or 90 days.
  4. The link is active right away. Copy it and send it to the people you want.

Unlike post approval, a pool link needs no PIN. Anyone with the link gets straight in โ€“ so only pass it on to people you trust.

What external people can do with it

  • View: All the images and videos in the pool at a glance, with a full-screen view.
  • Rate: Set the traffic light (green/yellow/red) โ€“ just like you. The most recent rating always applies. More on that under Rating assets.
  • Download: Save individual files or a selection as a ZIP package.

All ratings also appear live in your view โ€“ you don't need to reload anything.

Managing the link

  • Pause: You can temporarily switch the link off and turn it back on later โ€“ the link itself stays the same.
  • Revoke: If you want to end access for good, you remove the share entirely. The old link then stops working; the next time you share, a new one is created.

Tip: Set the duration as short as makes sense. An expired link closes itself, with no need for you to remember.

Where to go next

Once the best shots are marked, you turn them into a post from a selection.
