How to Display Album Thumbnails When Sharing External Links?

aryabhata · October 2, 2023, 6:53pm

I’m currently running Nextcloud version 27.1.1 with the Photos, Memories, and Preview apps installed and functioning correctly.

When I share individual pictures as external links (for example, in WhatsApp), I can see the thumbnail of the picture along with the link. However, when I attempt to share an entire album in a similar manner, I do not see any thumbnails accompanying the album link.

Is there a way to achieve the same thumbnail effect when sharing album links externally? I would like to make the shared album links more visually appealing and user-friendly by including thumbnails alongside them.
