Synology Photos Sharing specific photos with specific people

Hi all,

I have been looking around but I have been having a hard time finding if this is possible.

I am uploading all of my photos that I take on my cameras to my Synology Photos Personal Space. A lot of them have albums and I have shared those specific albums with the people that were involved with that album. That has worked fine and I have had no issues with that.

My problem is where i have random days where I take pictures around the house or when I go to my parents house on a Sunday and take photos and videos. They don't get their own album and reside just in my generic personal space timeline. I still do want to share these photos with my wife, siblings, parents, friends, etc.

The issue is that when I go and select the individual photos from my personal space and share them with those people, it creates an album for that person with the date that it was shared. I don't want it to create an album, I'd much prefer them to be sent to a "timeline view" for that person if possible.

Am I using the software incorrectly? Should I be using shared space for things like this? If so, is shared space able to then house ALL of my photos and then photos can be selected from there to be individually sent to specific people? Its tough when you don't want all of the photos to be shared with everyone, and also want to hand pick out specific photos for some people as they don't need access to everything most times.

If this is not clear enough and more context is needed, please let me know. I just want to share photos to go to the user's timeline, not create a new album every time.

Hope someone can shed some light on a solution for me! :)
