Online photo storage for multiple people

[Azbat297]

A friend of mine is getting married and for for the wedding we thought it would be nice if people could all upload photos they take from there mobiles to an online storage rather than uploading to facebook so it keeps all the photos in one place. If there is a website where you simply get a link and password which we can give to the guests then they can upload any photos they take from there phones.

I think that Flickr will let you do that (might be an issue with uploading), you give codes to people, or Dropbox (one folder each so people can't delete others photos), and then you manage uploading to flckr. Flickr doesn't compress the photos and you can then share that album to Facebook.

Do you have to have an account to upload to Flickr? Even if its just give them a URL and they upload to there. There is going to be a lot of photos but don't mind paying for paid service.

if you have a yhaoo account (free) then you get 1TB of storage...

Can other users easily upload to yahoo without an account?

create an account and check, and it's flckr they are uploading to. Drop box might be better, but you'd have to move them to somewhere to display them

I have had a look at dropbox though its asking to create an account to upload to a shared folder. I will have a look at flickr

I seem to have the same issue with flickr where others wont be able to upload without an account.

You can definitely give others read/write access at a folder level in drop box, you give them a link and it lets them use that folder. They do not need to be members, I did this for my wedding.

I have looked at all off the settings with drop box and I just cant see where you can give users access without an account. Yeah for view and download but not for editing.

when I'm on the dropbox webpage with my folders, click on the ... at the right had side of a folder, click share, and where the drop down says can view, click it and change to can edit, add an email address in the dialogue box and they get the link. One folder person would work best.
