Hi there,

I'll be getting married next week, and would like to set up an website that guests can easily upload their photos of the wedding to (and that I can then download at full resolution). Most of the popular online storage or photo websites (Dropbox, Picasa, Flickr, ...) al require any users uploading photos to have an account with the service and be explicitly invited.

Are there any services (they don't need to be free) which would allow me to create a shared folder which anyone can upload to without needing to sign up for an account?

Thanks!
 
You could try tinypic as they allow free upload without log in, but you would then need the url of each photo. Why not just create an account on something like Flickr and give whoever wants to upload the log in details?
 
have you heard of Irave i read that you simple use email to add photo to album pool so friend can add photo to ablums. you have login to say which photo are added from the album pool to the display album. also their http://www.wedding-snap.com

the only other thing i can think of is create basic web site and add an upload feature to it. make it so anyone can upload to the site, so that guest don't need to login/register to the site. then add a dropbox script to web site so that all upload photos are transferred to your dropbox account. then simple on the day hand out card as guest walk in or place cards on tables where guest are sitting. have on the card the detail on where to go to upload the pictures. alternatively you can create another dropbox/flicker/picasa etc type account and just give out the login info to your guests so that when they get home they can log into the account you created to upload photos to. then you login into it to download them to uplaod to you own flicker/dropbox etc account to display the photo for everyone to see.

If you trust everyone who's going to be uploading, you could possibly give them all the account details... Then change the password once all the pics are there?
 
I just realised that Picasaweb has a not very well advertised feature that allows email upload by just emailing photos as attachments). I'll go with that, as it pretty much satisfies my requirements (20MB limit per email which is a bit annoying, but probably not that much of a problem).

Thanks for all the suggestions.
 
Make a facebook group if most of the guests have facebook? I'm fairly sure the download option on fb images doesn't have the same compression as the normal viewer.
