Open File Photos, but want to go to a shared album on Mac


Recommended Posts

Hello,  I'm trying to determine if it's possible to open an image file from within Mac Photos, but from a shared album and not the library.  Opening from Photos works well, but navigating through many images is cumbersome for me. I hope my description is clear...

 

Thanks

If you are asking if you can use the search field in the Open dialog with a shared Apple Photos album, I do not think that is possible because (at least in my older version of Apple Photos) in that app shared album items can not be titled, given descriptions, etc. by the user, & do not have file names (just long hex number references).

I tried searching on one of those hex refs but it doesn't work for me.
