DropShot makes sharing photos and videos as easy as it should be. With so many different devices and different photo album services it's tough to find something that's a good fit for everyone. Not anymore. Using DropShot, you create a Drop, add your photos, and let everyone join. They can save their favorites directly to their own photo library without switching services, exchanging contact information, or managing another online album. SHARE ACROSS ALL TYPES OF DEVICES Different phones? Different photo apps? No problem. DropShot brings everyone together, regardless of the devices or photo services they use. KEEP USING YOUR FAVORITE PHOTO APP DropShot isn’t another photo library. It’s a simple way to move photos from your camera roll to someone else’s. Everyone saves what they want and keeps using whatever photo library works for them. NO CONTACT INFORMATION REQUIRED Share with people even when you don’t have their phone number or email address. Send an invite, share a QR code, or create a location-based Drop that people nearby can join. PERFECT FOR ANY OCCASION • Weddings and receptions • Birthday parties and family gatherings • Vacations and group trips • Conferences and company events • Concerts, sporting events, and meetups • Anytime someone says, “Can you send me those photos?” PRIVATE WHEN YOU WANT IT Create a private Drop for invited guests, or make a location-based Drop for everyone at your event. You choose how people join. SHARE NOW. SAVE WHAT MATTERS. Drops are temporary spaces for sharing, not permanent online albums.
