Password protection would be good just as a gate without having to login. Small businesses may not think about it often, however once you get into industries with IP, like the entertainment industry, password protection is extremely important, because links get shared FAST, and privacy is important. Not that Marvel would use a tool this small (no offense, just reality), but what if a subteam was? Lots of Studios outsource their marketing & smaller production work and don't provide the full set of tools, so subteams often use their own workflows.
Imagine is a subteam was using Picter to share a link. With no password. That link gets leaked to the press or just online. Now the marketing company will be sued for breaching their NDA and Marvel has a PR disaster (like they did with Tom Holland when he accidently leaked some info.)

Password protection is a MUST. It's not so much about encryption. It's about content privacy.

Plus, I work with a client who is a celeb photographer/cinematographer. I want to pitch this tool to him, because it's so easy for his clients (celebs) to leave comments on their photoshoots/films, choosing which ones they want approved/edited - and they HATE extra steps or anything that's complicated. This is perfect. But the privacy thing is an issue, because what if the link got leaked?
The photographer could easily text their client the password - so it's seperate. Something stupid simple for the client to remember, but it's that extra layer for ease of mind, knowing no one else can see the files.

This would be great for photographers, especially those who edit/colorize the pictures. The storage space if often an issue, and your limits are VERY good!

Please consider adding this simple password protection soon. Doesn't have to be fancy. Just something like Squarespace has for their PW-protected pages.

Hi hawkette,

Thank you for the detailed examples and your feedback on the password protection. I'll forward it to our product team so we can make a better decision about adding another layer of protection to the sharing links.

Best wishes,
Sebastian

+1 for the password protection feature for privacy reasons. It's really a must. Hope the developers will implement this.

Hi Sebastian,

I'am hesitating on purchasing Picter deal.

I would also need password protection for link sharing. I am not in a very sensible environment, and though I find it perfectly normal that I have the possibility to set up a minimal level of confidentiality for my clients on the assets being elaborated !

A definite must.

Oh, and it would be super-useful to be able to archive not only files of the projets but comments as well !

For instance, it is regularly useful for us to be able to show to newbies our processes on past projects, which almost first and foremost includes giving access to the type of comments and requests we do our receive !

And also, if down the road we are faced with disagreement or conflict with a client or provider (we are ourselves in both positions), if we have back-up the project to free up space on Picter's workspace, but have no trace of comments/requests, how could we then demonstrate our say ??

Hi Sumo-ling,

thanks for reaching out and providing us with your feedback.
At the moment, there is no password protection for links. We have added it to the feature wish list though. Also, thanks for providing insights about your workflow regarding archiving comments. I have passed this on to our team as well as feature wish.

Best,
Sophie
