sharing photo gallery for Anyone with link

Question

Recently moved from Google Workspace to Office365 Business.

Preschool teachers weekly submit pictures organized by classroom. Each classroom has its own folder. One-drive doesn't have "Photo folder", created one in Sharepoint Communications Site. Loaded the folder with some "dummy" pictures.

Created a Page with the photos in it and was able to share the .aspx page within the organisation or with specific email holders.

How can I share to "Anyone" (even outside the organization) with a link? According to MS docs .aspx cannot be shared without authentication. I can share the folder of the pics but all I see is lists of filenames, not an album.

Looking for an alternative to avoid having to go back to Google pics.

Any assistance would be appreciated.

Hi @Leon Wagschal,

SharePoint Online uses claims-based authentication. SharePoint Online does not have a claim called or aliased as Anyone or Anonymous Access or something similar. So, we cannot access a SharePoint page anonymously also SharePoint pages cannot be shared with "Anyone."

As an alternative, you can create a folder in a document library and upload photos to the folder. Folder is allowed to be shared with "Anyone".

Thank you. I solved the problem by implementing another step: publishing via googlepics but storing in OneDrive.
