By default, all galleries that you create in your account will not allow any downloading of photos or videos that have been uploaded. However, if you do want to make your content downloadable, you can allow this within the Settings of the Gallery.
When allowing downloading in a Gallery, you can make all photos/videos downloadable or limit the number that someone can download from the Gallery. You can also choose whether the downloads are available to clients, guests, and/or all visitors.
In addition to choosing who can download, and how many photos/videos they can download, you can also choose what sizes will be available for multi-photo or single photo downloading.
Please note there are no additional fees or costs related to allowing this type of downloading within the Gallery Settings.
