Keepr The mirror image of asking for photos: here you're the one who owns them and would rather someone else did.
When this is the right move#
You've been the family's photographer. Years of pictures of your sister's children are in your account, using your storage, and they should really be hers.
You're moving on from a shared space. Leaving a hub, or winding down an album, and the photos should stay with the person they're about.
Someone else is now the archivist. A parent handing the family record to an adult child is exactly what this is for.
What happens#
You choose the photos and offer them. The other person accepts or declines.
If they accept, ownership moves to them — and so does the storage cost. The photos stay in the album they're in, and you can still see them as long as you can still reach that album. You stop being the owner, not the audience.
They have to accept#
Ownership carries a storage cost, so nobody gets photos pushed onto them. Someone with a nearly-full plan may reasonably decline a hundred videos, and that's a fair answer.
The window is 14 days#
Twice as long as a request, and deliberately so: an unanswered gift leaves you unsure whether that storage is coming back, which is a worse kind of limbo than waiting on something you asked for. One reminder goes out partway through.
If it lapses, nothing changes and you can offer again.
This isn't a way to free up space quickly#
It can free space, but only if the other person agrees, and only after they do. If you're near your limit and need room now, two faster routes:
- Remove originals you've finished with — keeps every photo and usually frees the most.
- Review your duplicate stacks.
Stacks#
Offering a photo that's the top of a stack will ask whether you mean just that one or all of them. For handing over a set of pictures of somebody, "all" is usually what you want.
Keep your own copy#
Giving a photo away doesn't give you a copy. If it's one you'd want regardless — and for photos of your own children it usually is — download it first. Nothing stops both of you having the picture; ownership is only about who holds it in Keepr.
