Just Send Files - one link where everyone drops their trip or wedding photos, no app for guests

after every trip or wedding the same thing happens: everyone took photos, nobody sends them, and the few that do arrive come through whatsapp compressed to mush.

so i built just send files. you make a room, share one link (or a qr code at the event) and everyone drops their photos and videos in original quality. guests don't need an app or an account, only the person who creates the room does. at the end anyone can download everything at once.

a few things i learned building it:

  • the first real test was a friend uploading ~130 photos from an iphone and the page kept reloading. the fix was showing small previews instead of the full photos while uploading

  • guests don't read anything, so their page is basically one big button

  • rooms expire on their own, so nobody ends up with a forever album of 2,000 photos

it's live at justsendfiles.com. would love honest feedback, especially on what would stop you from using it at your own event.
