Welcome to Mediashare

Mediashare is a media file gallery designed for use with Zikula. With Mediashare you can upload media files into albums and then share these with others using an access control system that allows you to specify read/write access to specific Zikula users or groups, invite by e-mail, as well as making it public for everybody.
