Can You Send Your Albums to Someone Else on Facebook?
Whether someone has a Facebook account or not, you can send even your most private Facebook photo albums by getting the share link for that album. You can send the link in a Facebook message or email it to friends, clients or colleagues. The same process applies whether the album you want to share is on your personal timeline or on your business page, provided you have administrative access to that page. Anyone with the link can see the photos in the album, regardless of the album's privacy settings.
1
Log in to your Facebook account. To share personal photos, select "Photos" from the left menu of your news feed or by clicking the "Photos" box beneath the cover photo on your timeline. To share photos on a business page, go to the page and click the "Photos" box under the cover photo.
2
Click the "Albums" tab and locate the album you want to send.
3
Click the album cover you want to share. This opens the album. Click the "Gear" button beside the Edit button in the upper right corner. Select "Get Link." A dialog box opens with a link to the album. Anyone with this custom link can see the album, even without a Facebook account. If the person is not a friend and your album's privacy settings or the privacy setting of any photo is set to "Friends," that person can still see all of the photos with this custom link.
4
Click the "Send in Message" link to send the link as a private message to someone on Facebook. Type the person's name and click the "Send" button. You can also share a public album to anyone, whether they have a Facebook account or not, by copying the link and pasting it into an email.

Tips
- If the album you want to share has only a few photos in it, another option is to tag each photo with the name of a friend on Facebook. This adds the picture to your friend's news feed and makes the picture visible in your friend's Photo page. Tagged photos can also be seen by your friend's friends.
