Instructions
Step 1
If you upload photos to one of the albums of the VKontakte social network, you have the opportunity to set the privacy of the album in the process of its creation. In order to do this, log into your account by entering your username and password.
Step 2
Click on the inscription "My Photos". On the page that opens, click on the "Create album" option. Enter the name of the album, you can enter its description.
Step 3
To set your privacy settings, click on the "All users" label in the "Who can view this album?" Field. Select an item from the drop-down list. The option "All friends", which is in the default settings, makes your photos available for viewing to all users of "VKontakte".
Step 4
If you prefer to somewhat limit the circle of those who will be able to view images from the album being created, select the "Friends and Friends of Friends" option.
Step 5
To further reduce the number of users who have access to the created album, you will be helped by choosing the "Friends only" option.
Step 6
If the album you are creating is for your personal viewing only, select the "Just me" option.
Step 7
There are situations when I would like to avoid the visit of several or one specific user to the photo album. To do this, it is not at all necessary to close the photos with strict privacy settings, it is enough to use the "Everything except …" option. In the settings window for this option, select the degree of availability of the album for users from the same drop-down list. In the field "Who is denied access?" enter the name of a user who will not see the album with these privacy settings.
Step 8
The "Some friends" option will make the album available to those users from the list of your friends, whom you mark in the settings window of this option.
Step 9
If necessary, you can configure the ability to post comments to your photos in exactly the same way. Select the privacy you want from the drop-down list in the “Who can comment on photos?” Field.
Step 10
Click on the "Create Album" button. Select photos to upload on one of the computer disks and upload them to the created album.
Step 11
