The best event photos never leave guests’ phones

Problem

Photos stuck on phones

Guests take hundreds of photos and videos, and almost none of them reach you.

Compressed in chat apps

WhatsApp and social media shrink photos and videos to low quality.

Yet another app to install

Guests won’t download an app or create an account just to share a few photos.

One QR code collects every photo and video in full quality.

15M+ files collected. No app or login for guests.

Frequently asked questions

DriveUploader is an event photo sharing tool that saves guest photos and videos straight to your Google Drive. Guests scan a QR code or open a link and upload full-quality files from their phone, without an app or account. Event teams can also collect speaker slides, headshots and sponsor assets in the same place.

No. Guests scan the QR code with their phone camera or tap the link, and the upload page opens in their browser. There is nothing to install and no registration, which is why far more guests actually share their photos.

Every uploader has its own link and QR code. Download the QR code and print it on table cards, badges, screens or the event program. Guests scan it and upload photos straight into the event folder in your Google Drive.

Yes. DriveUploader saves the original files without compression, so photos keep their full resolution and videos their full length. Files only need to fit into your Google Drive storage, so photographers can deliver large files the same way. For very large events, keep in mind that Google allows up to 750 GB of uploads per day per account.

Not through the uploader. Guests can only upload, so every photo stays private to you and your team. If you want to share the photos afterwards, share the Drive folder with view access or pick the best shots for a gallery. DriveUploader doesn’t include a live photo wall or slideshow.

Event photo apps usually keep photos in their own gallery. DriveUploader saves every original file straight to your Google Drive, where your team already works, and adds custom forms, AI photo descriptions and Shared Drive support. It also collects speaker materials and sponsor assets, not just guest photos.

Yes. Keep the uploader open as long as you need and send the link in your thank-you email. Free uploaders stay open for 24 hours; for uploads in the days after the event, use a plan.

You can start for free. Free uploaders stay open for 24 hours, which is enough for a one-day event.
