The feature

This feature request stems from web access to an immich shared album being bad on mobile. (As discussed in #4798, #7941, and #11731)

One of my main uses for the shared album feature is to send photos to friends. Most of them don't have immich and are not likely to get the app for a singular download. They proceed to open the shared link on their phone, where the photos they download get zipped and put somewhere in their phone's file system. It is then necessary for them to find it, unzip the file, and then save it to whatever photo-viewing app they use. This isn't very difficult, but naturally, when sharing with a larger group of people, not everyone can figure it out.

The ability to download from the web to whatever the default photo app is would be extremely helpful, as the whole purpose of a photo sharing software is to easily distribute photos to a wider audience.
