enjay Posted September 9, 2015 Posted September 9, 2015 (non school related) Does anyone know of a site where people can upload photos without first having to create an account? I'm looking for an easy way for wedding guests to share photos after the event. All the obvious ones (Google, Dropbox, Facebook) all need accounts. I thought of Flickr upload by email, but that is against the terms of use. Alternatively, how about a site where a username/password would allow the upload of photos but not the deletion of existing ones?
jslate1980 Posted September 10, 2015 Posted September 10, 2015 What about one drive. Just click on share then forward the link. I thought you could do the same with Dropbox?
sonofsanta Posted September 10, 2015 Posted September 10, 2015 OneDrive lets you look at photos anonymously, but makes you sign in when you want to upload was looking at it just a couple of weeks ago for similar reasons.

That would let me share any photos I had, but not allow other people to upload their own. - - - Updated - - - was looking at it just a couple of weeks ago for similar reasons. And your findings were...? :-)
sonofsanta Posted September 10, 2015 Posted September 10, 2015 And your findings were...? :-) That OneDrive was no use didn't look further than that, was only for $tech and friend to be able to share astrophotography shots from a trip to the Namibian desert (because if you're going to stargaze, you do it right; I don't employ people who do things by halves )
enjay Posted September 10, 2015 Author Posted September 10, 2015 https://imgur.com/ Unless I'm missing something, that site doesn't allow lots of people to upload to the same shared folder...
localzuk Posted September 10, 2015 Posted September 10, 2015 How about setting up a wordpress blog, and issue out a user for people to use?
Kenny_G Posted September 10, 2015 Posted September 10, 2015 I know you said something that doesn't need signed up to, but we used wedpics for our wedding with some great results. Asked all guest to download the app and use it on the day, most of them did. You can download all the images after your wedding for free.

Someone else mentioned that too, but we didn't like the limitation of it only working from phones.
Kenny_G Posted September 10, 2015 Posted September 10, 2015 It's not just for phones. You can still use cameras and just upload the pictures from a computer.

Kenny_G Posted September 10, 2015 Posted September 10, 2015 Yes you can WedPics is available on iPhone (iOS 6.0+) and Android (4.0+). For guests that prefer to use traditional digital cameras or have other mobile devices, they can upload their photos directly to your albums via the web using a computer. We also encourage your wedding photographer to share his or her photos to your album as well! They offer a lot of products to buy, but we used them without spending a penny.
enjay Posted September 10, 2015 Author Posted September 10, 2015 Thanks. I'll take another look at it.
enjay Posted October 12, 2015 Author Posted October 12, 2015 So, to give you the conclusion to this, the wedding was this weekend and there are already several hundred photos on Wedpics, including some which were taken and uploaded live on the day. People do need to register with it, but just giving their name and email address, nothing too scary. All in all, a good site, easy to use and administer and free. You can invite people to join via email, Facebook, etc. plus you can buy business card sized flyers (400 cards for £40ish) with all the details on. We put details in the Orders of Service, with cards on the tables at dinner and then more cards scattered around in the evening. Anyone who is registered with the wedding can view all the pictures, including downloading them and ordering prints. Best man duties fulfilled!
