For example, <strong>Can view my file storage and photos</strong> does <em>not</em> +mean that the connected channel will be able to view <em>all</em> of your photos and files! +It means that you will have the <em>option</em> to share photos and files with that +channel. It is perfectly possible for you to allow someone to read your posts but +disallow them from seeing photos in that post. This kind of unusual situation is, +as they say, not a bug; it is a feature.</p> + +<p>Privacy groups allow you to conveniently share items with groups of people. You can +create whatever groups fit your needs by opening the <strong>Add privacy group</strong> link.</p> + +<p><img class="img-responsive" src="https://grid.reticu.li/photo/facb0bdfdecb4c779de9048cd14b417c0d76de17af476be5f296b78d70e993e3-1.png" alt="image"></p> + +<p>In this editor, you can switch between the existing privacy groups and see at a +glance what channels are and are not members of the group.
