Wedding Photo Storage for Guests with QR code

[Simmonds5]

How do I set up a folder for guests at a wedding to  upload their photos from the event to? I would like to make a QR code to place on the tables so guests can easily upload their moments from the wedding.

Thanks

You can use a File Request to allow people to upload files to you. Pass the link from the File Request through any QR code generator service.

if a guest doesn't have a dropbox account, will this still work or will they be required to create one/download app in order to upload photos?

thanks!!!

File Requests don't require a Dropbox account for the person uploading. They'll just need to enter their name and email address.

THANK YOU SO MUCH! I have set up the file request and generated the QR code (ADOBE - free) and it's working perfectly in my document to send the photos to the designated dropbox folder. So thrilled!

Is there a setting that will allow guests to see the photos others have uploaded when they upload theirs? If so, would I need to regenerate the QR code to enable it? 

Thanks again for your help!

Hope it’s OK to jump in, @marci_risch! When sending someone a file request, they can’t see the rest of the files being added to your Dropbox account, but only the ones they upload. These files are basically uploaded to a folder in your Dropbox account that they can’t access. 

If you want them to have view-only access to it though, you can generate a separate shared link instead (this is just for viewing the files, and not for uploading). 

Hope this helps!

No, but you can create a view-only Shared Link to the same folder you're using for the File Request, and then create a second QR code for it. Basically you'd have one code to upload and another to view.

Hi Nancy, thanks for jumping in! I have created both the Edit and View-only links, but when I close the dialogue box and click on the copy button, I'm only getting a copy of the Edit link. How do I copy the view-only link? Thx!
