Saving your photos for good

Save your files while your event is active, as the download is locked after expiry. Copies you have already saved stay with you.

To your device

On your phone, open “Save to my phone”. If the button says “Save”, choose “Save to my phone” there.

Saving files together is available on paid plans, including existing Flash events. You can save individual photos using the download icon even on the Demo plan.

In an iPhone browser, choose “Save Images” or “Save to Files” in the share sheet. On Android, the browser starts downloads.

If your device can remember its previous progress, it offers only new photos later. Otherwise, it offers all photos again.

To your cloud storage

The destinations shown depend on availability, your plan and your permissions. Open “Save” and choose your cloud destination. On a computer, use the cloud entry in the gallery.

Handover in the provider’s window

This option is available on Spotlight, Premiere, Studio and existing Flash events.

1. 01Check the summary and confirm the handover.
2. 02Use the button shown to open the provider’s window.
3. 03Choose the destination folder and confirm. With many files, repeat this for further batches.

This route does not keep your cloud account connected to EventDrop. EventDrop does not learn your destination folder.

• –New photos do not follow by themselves. Start another run for those later.
• –“Handed over” does not confirm that every file arrived. Look in the destination folder afterwards.
• –A new run can create duplicates. “Continue” skips confirmed batches; the interrupted batch may be transferred again.
• –“Stop the run” prevents further batches. Files already handed over stay at your provider.

Backup with an account connection

If your gallery offers a destination with an account connection, you can use it from Spotlight. Connect your account first. EventDrop creates a separate folder. Then choose whether to include existing photos.

The dialog shows which files have been confirmed as transferred.

What gets transferred

Hidden files, files flagged as inappropriate, and files with open reports or export restrictions are not transferred.

The copies use your cloud storage. Deleting files in EventDrop or letting the celebration expire does not delete existing cloud copies.

If cloud backup does not work

If no destination is offered, the event is too large for the handover option or the transfer fails, use Download photos as an alternative.
