How can I delete all shared links to a folder and its subfolders?

I'm a photographer and I have a recurring client who I've been shooting for since 2020.

 

During this time I have put all the pics for them in a folder with a "master" shared link, and in specific occasions I have shared links to subfolders as well.

Links have been passed around too, so who knows how many people have access to these pictures.

 

Now they want to start fresh, delete all access links including subfolders and have only one person have access to the link to the main folder.

 

Which is the best procedure for this?

    Hey pizzamargherita, thanks for posting your question to our Community!

     

    If you'd like to delete any shared links you have created from your account, you'll need to go to your Shared page here.

     

    You can click on the "..." (ellipsis) button next to each link, to delete it.

     

    I hope this helps, but if you have any questions, let me know!

      hi Hannah, thank you, that's a great section I didn't know before!

       

      However I have hundreds of delivered folders among all clients and it's hard for me to find all links which can belong to this specific client and the tens of jobs done for them.

       

      Is there any way to "delete all"? Maybe creating a new main folder and moving all images from there? Will links to subfolders still work?

        Hi again pizzamargherita!

         

        I'm afraid there's no option to delete all shared links or delete links in bulk.

         

        Moving the images in a folder won't affect the already existing links either; they'll need to be deleted as well.

         

        Feel free to take a look at Emma's tips here and then post this as an idea in our Ideas section for other users to up-vote!
