Although the current version of Mac FlipAlbum does not have an in-built capability to upload albums to the internet, it is possible to share your Mac FlipAlbums on the internet with your family and friends using some basic third-party shareware applications available on the internet.

Besides Mac FlipAlbum, there are 2 types of third-party applications you will need to help you complete the following instructions, namely, an application that creates a ZIP file and a FTP (File Transfer Protocol) application. 2 possible shareware applications are "ZipIt" for zipping the files, and "FTPThingy" for transferring your data up to the internet. Please do note that these are third-party applications and you would have to undertake all responsibilities for their usage.

1. Create your album

First, you need to create an album using Mac FlipAlbum Suite or Pro. Once you are satisfied with your album, choose to create an Album CD by selecting CD Maker -> Create Album CD menu. Follow the steps to create an Album CD just as if you were going to burn your album to a CD. At the last step when you are prompted to click on "Burn" to burn the CD, select "Use other CD burning software". This will change the "Burn" icon to "OK". Before you click on "OK", take notice of where your Album CD files have been stored. This information is stated on the current window. Once you know where your Album CD files are stored, hit "OK" and the window will close. You may now exit Mac FlipAlbum.

2. Zip your album

Go to your Album CD folder containing the following exported files that you have just created:
MacCDViewer
FlipAlbumCD folder
Autorun.inf
startCD.exe
Keep the window showing your Album CD folder open, and double-click on your ZipIt application folder which should be in your download folder. Drag your Album CD folder onto the icon that says "Drag files here to zip". This will automatically open up the ZipIt application. When prompted to register, you may either choose to click "Not yet" or register for $20 which will unlock the entire application. Either option will zip your Album CD folder and create a "name of your folder.zip" file in the ZipIt folder.

3. Upload your album

Now launch FTPThingy, and fill out your website FTP information. This includes the name of the site you are uploading to, directory on that web server, username, and password. If you do not have these FTP information, please refer to your web master. Once you have entered the correct data and hit Enter, FTPThingy will open up your website. Then all you have to do is to click on the "Upload" button, choose the ZIP file you have just created, and hit Enter. This will pop a copy of your ZIP file on your website.

4. Access your online album

Finally, send the link to the uploaded ZIP file to your family and friends, and they should be able to type the link into a web browser and download your album automatically. For example, if you were to put the ZIP file in your main web directory, you should be able to enter: http://mywebsitename.com/myzipfile.zip on your web browser and automatically download your album. To view album, Mac users simply double-click on the MacCDViewer application, while PC users double-click on the startCD.exe file.
