Comparison 2025: How to Share Photos with a QR Code – Eventocam vs Google Drive vs Wedshoots

Sharing Photos with a QR Code: The Visual Revolution is Here

Have you ever been to an amazing event, took some brilliant photos and then… had no idea how to easily share them with others? 😩
Or worse, someone sent you a ridiculously long link via WhatsApp that disappeared between memes, stickers and cat videos?

You’re not alone.

In a world where we all carry a camera in our pocket (yes, your phone), sharing photos should be as easy as snapping them.
And now, thanks to QR codes, it is. Just point your camera, scan, and voilà! You can upload or view photos instantly.

But… what’s the best way to do it?

Today, we’re giving you a friendly, real-world comparison of the three most popular options for sharing photos via QR at events:
👉 Eventocam,
👉 Google Drive,
👉 Wedshoots.

Spoiler: One of them goes several steps further 😉
Let’s dive in!

What do they have in common?

All three tools share one essential feature:
They allow event guests to scan a QR code and then upload or view photos—no tech drama involved.

And that’s brilliant. Gone are the days of asking for the USB cable or chasing the photographer around for days.

But (there’s always a but), the experience varies a lot depending on the platform—especially if you’re not a techie or if you’re organising something important.

A Comparison for Real People (No Tech Mumbo Jumbo)

1. Eventocam: Your Event, Your Rules

Eventocam was designed from day one to help people live and share their events with style, order and ease.
It works on any device, requires no installation, and each event has its own private space where guests can upload photos by simply scanning a QR code. That’s it.

✅ Pros:

• No app installation needed

• Everything is organised by event (separate folders)

• Each photo gets a unique name and optimised size

• Full control: who uploads, who views, and when

• User-friendly interface (no need to be a techie)

• Support available in English and Spanish, tailored for social, business and school events

❌ Cons:

• None worth mentioning

🎁 Best for: corporate events, weddings, fairs, birthdays, festivals, schools… you name it!

2. Google Drive + Forms: The Quick Fix

Google Drive combined with Google Forms is a quick, free way to collect files.
You create a form, enable “file upload”, and share the link via a QR code.

Yes, it works. But there’s a catch.

✅ Pros:

• It’s free (as long as you have storage available)

• Can be set up in minutes

• Guests can upload from their phones with ease

❌ Cons:

• Uploaders must have a Google account 😑

• No design options (no logo, branding, or customisation)

• Files can get messy quickly if not managed

• No real control over what’s uploaded (or how)

• Not designed specifically for event photos

🎁 Best for: quick internal use, small casual gatherings, and low expectations.

✅ Pro tip: If you use it, add a CAPTCHA and ask guests to type their name to help identify who uploaded what.

3. Wedshoots: Weddings Only

Wedshoots (from the creators of Bodas.net) is an app designed so wedding guests can upload pictures to a shared album.
It works… but only in a very specific context.

✅ Pros:

• Designed specifically for weddings

• Private album to view and comment on photos

• Friendly interface for younger guests

❌ Cons:

• Requires app download 📲 (and not everyone will bother)

• Only works well for weddings (as the name suggests)

• Doesn’t translate well to other event types

• Some users report performance issues or bugs on Android

🎁 Best for: mid-sized weddings with tech-savvy guests.

🤔 Not a wedding? Then it might not be the right tool for you.

🏆 So… Which One Should I Choose?

Can I Combine Them?

Some organisers choose to use Google Forms for free, small events, and switch to Eventocam when they want to offer a polished, branded, seamless experience.

There’s no one-size-fits-all.
The important thing is to choose what suits your guests and your event best.

Don’t let the photos get lost in a sea of group chats!
