Download original photos to phone

[happpyg 20]

Hi, I've seen a few discussions on this before but will the ability to download original photos directly to the phones native photo app, ie Camera Roll in IOS be supported at some stage?  Really missing this option to enable easy sharing of my photo library via other platforms, messenger, Whatsapp, iMessage etc which this would allow.  I currently have to do this manually via other mechanisms while at home on the network or copy to other cloud platforms, being able to do it from anywhere via Emby would be awesome!

Thanks!

Hello,

we are using Emby premiere to share family videos and photos. However, we ran into an issue – in the Emby mobile app (Android/iOS) it is not possible to download a photo directly into the phone’s gallery.

The “Offline download” feature works, but it only saves the photo inside the Emby app. That’s not very practical – for example, parents would like to download a photo so they can set it as a wallpaper or share it outside the app.

It would be great if there was an option to:

Save a photo directly to the phone’s gallery / camera roll

Or export a photo from the offline Emby library to the gallery

I think this would help many users who use Emby not only for videos but also as a family photo archive.

Thank you for considering this!
