Is there an option to upload to gallery but make it private?

Is there an option to upload to gallery but make it private? So, this way only certain people (like friends) can download the shared lots?

    @khitteh They can bypass the original author's name by placing the lot in the world and re-saving it to their library. This clears out the original author's name.

    Okay that's weird, because in my game if I place a lot then resave it to my library, the lot has my name at top saying "By" and then under that says "Original By" with the person's name I downloaded it from.

    Which should keep their name if I uploaded it to gallery right?

    @khittehYou seem to be misunderstanding - what @Coley666 is saying is: they don't adjust the lot that they "plonked" down but rather use it as a floor plan/guide for what they build on a separate lot. They then upload the "new" build which would not have the original creators name because it is just a copy that seems like a whole new build.

    So you're saying they completely rebuild the floorplan and just base it on someone else's building work. So they'd need to painstakingly redecorate it as well.

    I mean, that's basically a whole lot of work. Just to steal a floorplan?

    Yeah, there are some things I really only want to share with some of my friends or just use as a cloud to move my own blueprints to another computer. Like if there's stuff that's inside jokes, etc.

    @khitteh Just with the comment section of uploads.  Some of the custom poses bypass the Gallery too.  Would be nice just to have a better search feature in the Gallery like sorting section for different colors for NSB challenges.  I tend to upload builds with MOO and well would be nice to have a filter for it so that those that don't use that cheat or don't want to use lots with CC can be filtered better.
