Dropbox alternative
A shared Dropbox is not a guest-friendly wedding album.
Dropbox links break. Guests don't have accounts. Uploads fail on mobile. A QR-code gallery does the same job with zero friction — $29 forever.

Why this doesn’t work today
- ✗Guests need a Dropbox account or a shared-link workaround that half of them don't understand.
- ✗Dropbox mobile upload is buggier than most people realise — silent failures are common.
- ✗You'll hit the 2GB free tier the second guests start uploading video.
- ✗No live slideshow, no printable table cards, no way to moderate uploads.
- ✗$12/mo for Dropbox Plus, forever. Memories is $29 total.
The QR Maker approach
A QR-code gallery is what a Dropbox link should have been. Guests scan, upload, and every file lands in one gallery — no account, no app, no shared-link permissions dance. Full-resolution photos and videos, ZIP download of everything, live slideshow for the venue TV. $29 one-time. Nothing renews.

Frequently asked
Can I forward everything to my Dropbox after?
Yes. ZIP download from the gallery, then drag into any Dropbox folder. You skip the "guests fighting with Dropbox" step.
What if I already pay for Dropbox Plus?
That covers your files — but not your guests' upload experience. QR Maker is about that side of the flow, not your personal cloud storage.
Isn't Dropbox more trustworthy long-term?
Both are — but QR Maker is a one-time cost, and your ZIP download is yours to store wherever you want, forever.
