Hello, I don't consider this a bug but a feature request. The albums in the sidebar are the ones with the most recent changes. And right now, it only shows the albums you own, as intended.

Please let us know what you expect the behavior to be, and we can consider it.

Thanks,
Alex

Hey Alex,

I see. For me it just looks a bit inconsistent for the shared user - the dropdown in the sidebar is empty (so actually I wouldnt expect any albums), but if you go to the albums page you can see albums.
So from my point of view it makes sense to show shared albums on the sidebar as well (or rather the sidebar and the albums page should behave the same).
