Momento resources

Google Drive Alternative for Event Photos

Skip the shared Drive link — one QR collects guest photos, builds a private gallery, and delivers a curated highlight reel.

Product in action

Digital disposable camera flow — QR upload, private gallery, curated highlight reel.

QR upload

Guests scan and upload from browser — no app download.

Live gallery

Every guest photo in one private event album.

Highlight reel

Host generates a curated recap with music and award beats.

Search intent

The searcher compares Google Drive (or shared albums) to dedicated event photo apps and wants a better collection flow for weddings, parties, trips, or corporate events.

Best for

Hosts who default to Google Drive or WhatsApp folders but want a guest camera experience, organized gallery, and recap output.

The problem

Why hosts search for this

Google Drive folders need manual uploads after the event. Guests forget, files land in wrong folders, and nobody turns hundreds of photos into a watchable recap.

The Momento way

What Momento does

Momento replaces the Drive as the collection point: guests scan a QR and upload from their phone browser during the event. The host gets moderation, reveal controls, challenges, awards, and highlight reel generation — not just storage.

Workflow

How it works

01

Create the event

Set name, type, upload limits, and reveal timing — faster than setting up a Drive folder structure.

02

Share the QR instead of a Drive link

Print at the venue or paste in WhatsApp. Guests upload during the event, not days later.

03

Guests capture live

Browser camera opens after scan — no app install, no 'please upload to Drive' chase.

04

Host moderates the gallery

Review uploads, use album shortlist, and control when photos become visible.

05

Generate the highlight reel

Host clicks Generate — AI selects photos and the browser renders a short recap with music.

Feature fit

Why Momento fits this search

Built for live capture

Drive is storage; Momento is QR camera + gallery + recap for events.

No guest app rollout

Browser upload avoids 'install Drive' or 'find the folder' friction.

Private by default

Event galleries are not public listings — only your link works.

Recap output included

Highlight reel, awards, and share links — not just a folder of JPEGs.

FAQ

Common questions

Is Momento a replacement for Google Drive?

For event photo collection, yes — Momento replaces the shared folder with QR capture, a private gallery, and curated highlight reel output. For general file storage, use Drive alongside Momento.

Can I still download all photos?

Yes. Hosts can download photos from the gallery. Momento adds recap and awards on top of collection.

What about Google Photos shared albums?

Shared albums still require guests to upload manually after the event. Momento captures during the event via QR with challenges, leaderboard, and recap generation.
