Dropbox alternative: collect wedding photos with a QR code ========================================================== Yes, you can collect wedding photos with Dropbox and a QR code: you create a file request and put the link behind a QR code. That works well if you already use Dropbox and only want to see the photos yourselves. If you want guests to see a shared album, you would like a live slideshow and the QR code should come included, a tool like LensGo is easier.

The difference is in what guests see after scanning and how much you have to set up yourselves. - Choose a Dropbox file request if you already have a Dropbox account with enough storage and want the photos to land straight in your own folder. - Choose LensGo if you want guests to view the photos in a shared album and new pictures to appear live on a screen. - You can also combine the two: collect with LensGo, then download the album as a zip and back it up in your Dropbox. Dropbox file request vs LensGo ------------------------------ The main differences when you want to collect wedding photos with a QR code. LensGo Dropbox file request App or account needed for guests No app, no account No Dropbox account needed How guests upload Scan QR code, upload in the browser Open link, enter name and email QR code and print templates Included, with poster templates Make your own with a QR generator Guests see each other's photos Yes, shared album No, only you see uploads Live slideshow on a screen Yes, in real time No Storage Separate from your cloud storage Counts towards your Dropbox storage Photo quality and videos Original quality, photos and videos Original files, size limit depends on plan Cost Free to start, then one-time payment Part of your Dropbox plan This comparison is based on publicly available information, features can change, so check the provider's website for the current details. Both options in detail ---------------------- Dropbox is a good cloud storage service, LensGo is made for photos from events. This is what to expect from each one. ### LensGo LensGo is a web app for collecting photos and videos at weddings and other celebrations. You create an event and get a QR code and a link. Guests scan the code and upload from their phone browser into one shared album. - Guests see the shared album and can like photos, with no app, no account and no login - A live slideshow shows new uploads in real time on a TV or beamer, also on the free plan - The QR code and print-ready poster templates are included, and you download the whole album as a zip in original quality - The free plan is limited to 50 uploads. Bigger weddings need a paid plan, which is a one-time payment per event - Guests need an internet connection, you have to share or print the QR code, and it is one more tool next to the ones you already use **Couples who want guests to enjoy the photos together, in the album on their phone and live on the screen.** ### Dropbox file request Dropbox is a cloud storage service for files of every kind. With a file request you create an upload link that lets other people upload files into a folder in your Dropbox. You can turn that link into a QR code with a QR code generator. - Guests do not need a Dropbox account of their own to upload files - The photos land straight in your own folder, next to your other files - Only you see the uploads, which is handy if the photos should stay private - The uploads count towards your Dropbox storage. Once it is full, guests can no longer upload anything - Guests do not see a shared album, there is no live slideshow, and you have to create and design the QR code yourselves **Couples who already use Dropbox, have enough storage and only want to collect the photos for themselves.** How it works How to collect wedding photos with a QR code using LensGo --------------------------------------------------------- Three steps from creating the event to downloading the album. 01 ### 1. Create your wedding as an event Create your wedding in LensGo. You get a QR code and a link to your shared album. You can start for free. 02 ### 2. Print and display the QR code Design a QR poster with the built-in poster editor and print it in A4 or A5. Put it on the tables, at the entrance, or show the code in the live slideshow. 03 ### 3. Guests upload, you download Guests scan the code and upload photos and videos from their phone browser. After the celebration you download the whole album as a zip, and you can back it up in your Dropbox too. Questions Frequently asked questions -------------------------- Can I create a QR code for wedding photos with Dropbox? Yes, with a workaround. You create a file request in Dropbox and get an upload link. You turn that link into a QR code with a QR code generator and print it yourself. Do guests need a Dropbox account to upload? Guests do not need a Dropbox account for a file request. They are asked for their name and email address before uploading. With LensGo, guests upload without an account, and adding a name is optional. Can guests see each other's photos? With a Dropbox file request, only the people who created it see the uploaded files. If you want to share the photos, you have to share the folder separately afterwards. With LensGo, guests see the shared album right after scanning, unless you restrict that. Is Dropbox storage enough for a wedding? That depends on your plan. Guest uploads count towards your Dropbox storage, and videos fill it up quickly. Check how much space is free before the wedding. With LensGo, the limit is based on the number of uploads in your plan, not on your cloud storage. What are the downsides of LensGo compared to Dropbox? The free plan is limited to 50 uploads, so bigger weddings need a paid plan, which is a one-time payment per event. Guests need an internet connection, and you have to share or print the QR code. If you already use Dropbox, LensGo is also one more tool. What does it cost to collect wedding photos with a QR code? With LensGo you can start for free, and paid plans are a one-time payment per event, with no subscription. With Dropbox the cost depends on your plan, and you can find the current prices on the Dropbox website.
