It showed progress bar 100% and said thanks which make me think it is done


but when i go back it is still showing as public instead of private

how to make all my albums private rather than exposing them to entire world

i wasted already 3 hours on this excersise but not solution yet

above link says it cannot be done

"when I went back to the set in organizr, they were still marked as private."

You can't check the permissions in Organizer. It will only ever show you your account default setting.


also how to make auto uploader on my cell phone and windows desktop/laptop to make all photos automatically uploaded as private rather than public?

Please advise
