Photo Sharing Integration Overview

The Photo Sharing integration allows program operators to upload, organize, and securely share program media with families through the My Jumbula app. Jumbula supports three integration options: SmugMug, Google Drive, and OneDrive.

This article outlines the key differences between these platforms, the benefits of enabling photo sharing, and how to set up the integration using SmugMug as an example.
