Sharing/Downloads
Download profiles
Configure club-wide download building blocks and per-gallery or workspace download options in Clipido.
Use this article to set up what recipients can download from a "shared gallery" or "workspace": turn downloads on, choose quality and enhancements, and reuse club-wide building blocks.
In Clipido, a download profile is the combination of quality, logo overlays, crop presets, and download actions assigned to one shared gallery or workspace. You configure building blocks once in Settings, then assign them per portal in the sharing editor.
Club-wide building blocks in Dynamic Download
Open Settings and select Dynamic Download. The hub card "Download options" lists three building blocks:
- "Crop Presets" for aspect-ratio formats on custom downloads
- Logo Overlays for watermarking downloaded images (add-on)
- Download Actions for warnings or blocks before a download (add-on)
Create and manage these resources here first. Assign them to individual shared galleries and workspaces in the steps below.
Note
Dynamic Download applies to image files only. Videos and documents are always downloaded in their original format when downloads are enabled.
Turning downloads on for a shared gallery
- Open Sharing, select the shared gallery, and open the Settings tab.
- In the "Download" section, set "Download file" to "Enabled".
- Optionally set "Download all" to "Enabled" so recipients can download every file in the gallery as one zip.
- click Configure download options to open the "Download settings" modal.
If "Download file" is "Disabled", recipients cannot download files and "Download all" is turned off automatically.
Turning downloads on for a workspace
- Open Sharing, select the workspace, and open the Settings tab.
- Open the Media tab.
- In the "Download" section, set "Download file options" to "Enabled".
- click Configure download options to open the "Download settings" modal.
Configuring download settings for one portal
The "Download settings" modal has tabs for "Quality", "Overlays", "Cropping" (workspaces only), and "Actions". click Done when you finish.
The "Advanced options" summary on the sharing editor shows what is configured for "Quality", "Overlays", "Cropping", and "Actions".
How many options you select in each tab controls recipient behavior:
| Selected count | What recipients get |
|---|---|
| 0 | That enhancement is off |
| 1 | One fixed choice applied by default |
| 2 or more (workspaces only) | Recipients pick from the options you allow |
If you deselect every quality tier, downloads are turned off for that portal.
Shared gallery vs workspace download rules
Shared galleries and workspaces use the same modal, but galleries have tighter rules.
| Setting | Shared gallery | Workspace |
|---|---|---|
| Original and custom quality together | No. Custom quality replaces original. | Yes. Recipients can Choose Original or "Custom". |
| Multiple quality tiers | No. One custom tier only. | Yes. Recipients can pick "High", "Medium", or "Low". |
| Cropping | Not available | Available |
| Logo overlay picker | One fixed overlay only | Fixed overlay or recipient picks from a list |
| Download Actions tab | Shown when the add-on is enabled | Shown when the add-on is enabled |
Setting defaults for new portals
When you edit download settings for a shared gallery or workspace, click the cog icon next to the "Download" section header to Open Download defaults. These defaults apply to new shared galleries or workspaces you create in this club.
You can set default values for "Download file", "Download all", quality, overlays, cropping, and actions. Existing portals keep their own settings until you change them.
