Strangely, the control to enable visitors to download Google+ photos is hidden in PICASAWEB settings. Wtf.
Go here: picasaweb.google.com/lh/settings#permissions. Under “Allow any visitor to:” check the box for “Download my photos”, then click save.
Your visitors after refreshing the album you sent them should be able to download now!
Ps. If you want to change your album cover, I found that the easiest way to do this is also through http://picasaweb.google.com/lh/ . Click into the photo you want to set. Then go to Actions > set as album cover.
About Steven Chu
Hi, I'm Steven! I'm an entrepreneur, photographer and art director in New York. Follow this blog for self expression, fun, and most importantly: looking comfortable, at ease, and amazing in your photos no matter who takes them!
I dedicate this to my amazing friends who have let me inadvertently turn all of our hangouts and travel photos into a never ending photoshoot of fun. The proof is in the pudding-- our photos rock.
My other projects: I'm the founder of InstaTechie.com, a face-to-face tech concierge service for NYC. Book a techie to walk you through something you want to learn! My work focuses on socially engaged art projects which use technology to create access to resources for communities. Visit Steven Chu Studio (stevenchustudio.com) for branding & design work or Steven Chu (stevenchu.com) for photography projects.
