Number of Participants
This nonprofit organizes endurance adventures to help survivors turn their setbacks into comebacks.
On their 50-ish mile hikes, the crew was accustomed to participants taking countless photos with their phones.
After the event, everyone wanted not only their own pictures but everyone else’s. The process to collect and share these pictures was cumbersome, especially after their previous service, shutterfly.com, discontinued its shared folder feature. This left the PAF team seeking a practical alternative to ensure that memories were easily accessible to all participants.
Upon discovering DropEvent, participants could easily upload pictures straight from their phones, making the sharing process instantaneous. Not only was it efficient, but the group's response to this method was overwhelmingly positive.
For Project Athena’s epic Rim-to-Rim-to-Rim hike across the Grand Canyon, DropEvent served as an ideal platform for 30 hikers to share and access photos on the go. The convenience of easily sharing photos with the entire group, without needing to have the same kind of phone as someone else, made it a perfect fit for their needs.
Here’s what people say after using DropEvent
“Just a word to say how great your application worked out for our 50th year High School Class Reunion. Now that the reunion is over, I just wanted to let you know, how happy we are with the choice we made! We ended up with over 165 pictures and best of all, it was from our own classmates phone cameras and their perspective. It was so easy with the DropEvent provided QR code. We printed out the code and placed one on each table at the dinner. The QR code took them directly to the event site which allowed them to pick and choose what pictures they wanted to upload. Thanks for an excellent and economical solution to our photo needs!”
“We used DropEvent for a medium sized wedding. Well worth the moderate cost, the guests loved that it was simple and that they didn't need to install an app or create an account, and it was a fantastic way to show pictures right away of the event to folks that couldn't make it (we have to wait a while for the professional photos). Overall, a very well designed and convenient service, and one that I will recommend to others when the need comes up in other .”
Took me a few hours of research to find a website that would work well to collect and display photos and videos from a recent high school reunion. There are a lot of photo-sharing websites out there but most seem to be designed either for professional photographers or to display photos live during an event. You can add captions and choose whether to display photos with small thumbnails or larger images. You can set up your page with a password so only your classmates have access to the images and, if they want, you can set it up so that they can download any photos or videos they like. And, finally, the tech support has been amazing. I've been getting quick replies to all of my questions
Thank you. We were very happy with the results of using dropevent as a photohosting site for our wedding. Our guests took some amazing photos/videos and it was fun to relive the moment through their eyes.
DropEvent is exactly what we were hoping for! It has been easy for our summer camp teachers to all upload their photos into one central space that I can then share with our campers’ families.
We needed to compile family photos for 400+ teammates as a safety initiative at our plant. DropEvent made this simple and even allowed us to create individual links for our teammates to upload their photos to their corresponding department. We will be using DropEvent again in the future.
“I searched high and low for a service that would minimize barriers of needing to create an account, download an app, and more.“After a tragic death, this was the best way to gather photo memories of our loved one. The platform made photo sharing seamless and will help the family grieve and honor the memories.“Every funeral home should be using your technology as a service to their families! Just wanted to share my gratitude. Thank you!”
Drop event really has been amazing. We are able to share photos with our friends far and wide. We are able to live moments of the event through the lens of all our family and friends! It’s a beautiful way to share our photos!
"DropEvent was perfect for collecting photos from the wedding guests. I'm the "techy" friend and have set up photo sharing for several events over the years. DropEvent was the easiest, and best priced service I've ever used. Instead of looking for something new, next time I'm recommending DropEvent."
"I'm so glad we found DropEvent for our wedding! It was the perfect tool for crowdsourcing all the amazing photos that our guests took. The fact that guests didn't need to create an account to upload their photos (directly from their phones), and were able to see all the other uploads (our choice) made the experience seamless and enjoyable. We had so much fun watching the photos roll in after the big day, and our guests were really impressed too. Highly recommended!”
DropEvent makes photo-sharing easy, even for a group of strangers. Upload, share, and show moments from your events with one link. No accounts, no apps, no limits.
