Guests do not receive Drive access
They use the Vowlight event page. Restricted server-side authorization writes supported files into the event's photo and video folders.
Guest uploads to host-owned storage
Event Photo Uploads Directly to Google Drive
Guests use a mobile upload page while the organizer keeps Google Drive on the host side. Submitted originals arrive in event folders the host already owns.
What the workflow includes
Let event guests upload photos and videos into your Google Drive through an event-specific QR page—without exposing a shared folder or requiring guest accounts.
- Guests do not receive Drive access
- Vowlight does not keep a second original
- Files are ready when collection ends
Vowlight does not keep a second original
Vowlight stores the operational records needed to run the album. The original guest media is written to the Google Drive account connected by the host.
Files are ready when collection ends
The host already has the originals in Google Drive for review, editing, archiving, or client delivery.
FAQ
Questions to answer before you print the QR
What is Vowlight?
Vowlight gives an event host a QR code and guest upload page. Photos and videos that guests submit go to the host's connected Google Drive.
Do guests need to download an app?
No. The QR opens a mobile web page where guests choose files and upload. They do not need a Vowlight account.
How do paid upgrades work?
Start with one event and 50 files for free. Paid plans add capacity and event features; checkout appears only when a payment provider is configured for the selected plan.
Is there a free plan?
Yes. It includes one event and up to 50 guest files. No credit card is required.
How do I collect photos from event guests?
Create an event, connect Google Drive, then print or share its QR code. Guests scan it and upload photos or videos from their phone.
Are event guest uploads private?
The guest page is not listed as a public gallery, but anyone who has the event link can open it. Share the QR and link only with the people you want to invite, and pause uploads when collection is finished.
Can guests upload after the event?
Yes, while the host leaves uploads open. The host can pause the page from the dashboard after the last files arrive.
Does Vowlight support photos and videos?
Yes. Supported plans accept both, with file-count and per-file size limits shown before purchase.
When do I need to pay?
Upgrade when the free 50-file allowance is not enough or the event needs paid features such as guest notes, a live wall, or moderation.
Test it before the event
Create an album, then scan the QR with another phone.
The free plan includes one event and 50 files. Event and Large Event are one-time purchases; Event Team renews monthly.
