Tips & Warnings

If you already have a Yahoo Photos account, opening a Yahoo 360 account is very simple. Go to http://360.yahoo.com and sign up. It takes but a couple minutes.
You can set individual permissions for each album.
As with other Yahoo Photos sharing methods, you cannot share Smart Albums.
If you have photos marked “Mature” in any of your Yahoo Photos albums, those photos cannot be seen in Yahoo 360. The rest of the album will be available.
Make it easier for Yahoo Photos friends to find you at Yahoo 360 by changing the way your ID is displayed on 360 pages. Click the “Settings” link on your Home page. Scroll down to Yahoo Identity Display to choose how you want your 360 pages to identify you.
The photos you upload to Yahoo Photos and Yahoo 360 must have the .jpeg or .jpg file extension. You will receive an error message with any other extension type. Convert any files you want to upload with an image editor.
