To date many of us use iCloud Shared Albums to share our photo albums with our friends and family. This process is still valid, but it is somewhat more complex than the method that we are going to see below.
With the help of the default macOS app for photos, Photos, and the web version of iCloud, www.icloud.com, we can share one or hundreds of images at a time, just by generating a link with the content to share. From this moment on, so you just have to share this link as you prefer: mail, messages, or social networks.
The process is simpler than it seems and any user, regardless of their level, can carry it out. The first will be have the content, images or videos, in the Photos application. Otherwise, just select and drop on the Photos app. The content will be imported.
Now it's time to go to the iCloud web version, found in www.icloud.com. As in any service, you must identify yourself with the ID and password. If you have activated, as in my case, the double factor verification, before exiting the Launchpad, it will ask you to enter the code sent to your other Apple device.
