Uploaded Photos (Enhanced Sharing), how to view, organize, and delete them

If you chose to enable Enhanced Sharing, your final prints and GIFs are securely uploaded to our servers so they can be used in features that are dependent on having the photos online such as SMS, QR Code, and sharing buttons from within e-mails. This also allows our fotoShare app to download these images over the internet. You also get to use our fotoshare Cloud hosting site at fotoshare.co with the option to have event pages, your personal website, and detailed analytics.

Separate Photos from Different Events

Set a different event (album) name for every event so that photos are grouped together and so guests from one event don't see photos from another event, go to Settings > Sharing > and change the Album Name before you start each event.

You can also move photos from one album to another or to a new album. Go to your fotoShare account, Click on your Event, Select photos you'd like to move, then select new or existing album from the dropdown in the top left.

Event Sharing

You can easily get a link to share with the event organizer of the guests with all the photos and videos from the event. To get the url of the album to share with guests:

  • Option 1: Open dslrBooth, open settings menu, click on the Link icon. The url to your event will be copied for you and you can share it.
  • Option 2: login to your fotoshare Cloud account, Events, click on your event, then click on Link in the top right menu you'll get a link to the event.

Additionally all captured and generated photos and videos are also stored locally on your computer (Settings, View Event Folder).

Privacy Settings

See settings under fotoShare Cloud.

    Hi,

    could you please tell me what's included in the basic free plan regarding the amount of events and pictures? Are those unlimited?

    What happens after the 3 month to the photos that have been shared?

     

    Edit: Also, what does the {attached_image_url} do?

    Sebastian, Please see: http://fotoshare.co/plans

    {attached_image_url} can be used if you want to write your own HTML <IMG SRC={attached_image_url}> tag.

    Thanks.

    I read your plans-info before posting, of course.

    But "If you use any of our products, you get a basic plan for free which includes limited image hosting and basic event gallery management tools." does not really state, what limited means.

    Thus my questions above :-).

    There's no limit on number of albums or photos however photos can be deleted after 3 months for the free plan.

    If I don't have WIFI at the event location, will the images upload to FotoShare automatically when WIFI is available? Or will I have to manually upload them?

    I have the same question as Cameron.  Some events don't have WiFi.  Can you suggest a solution to this?

    I did some experimenting and found that once the Surface has WIFI again, the program will upload the photos to FotoShare. Knowing this, I created the event album in advance and put a placeholder image in the album as the album won't show if it's empty.

    Once I had the URL for the album, I used rebrandly.com to generate a QR code that I could share with guests at the event, telling them that their images would be in the album within 24 hours. The reason I went with rebrandly.com is because their QR codes are dynamic, that is I can change the URL the QR goes to without having to change the QR image itself. That way, if the upload to FotoShare fails or if I have to change the URL of the album for whatever reason, I can do that without having to change the QR code I've already shared with my client.

    I did all this with a real world gig, and it worked as expected.

    I cannot find where there is a place on either dslrbooth or fotoshare to change the album name. I have created new events but the photos still load into the very first event album I created. I have saved the new event in fotoshare, and done everything I can think of. What am I missing.

    Stephanie, in dslrBooth, you can change the event (album name) in the top right of the main screen.

    I’m no longer able to download GIFs/mp4s from fotoshare on iOS 13. When I tap download, then do a long tap on the GIF/mp4, nothing pops up to allow me to save it.

    @Chris, this was addressed a few weeks ago.

    There is a new Update to the Fotoshare login page. Does anyone know how to download the photos now?

    The Download All button is checked but the other options are now missing at the top.
