QR Code sharing

With version 7.1 or later, Sparkbooth can display a QR code for guests to access uploaded photos. An internet connection is required for this feature as the photos need to be uploaded before the QR code can be displayed. Here’s how to set it up:

  1. Open Sparkbooth and navigate to the settings menu.
  2. Under "Send to Account," select QR Codes.
  3. Select your desired photo hosting service from the dropdown menu (e.g., Google Drive, Dropbox, etc.).
  4. Click the "Configure" link and set up the specific settings for the chosen hosting service.

Once QR Code sharing is enabled and the photo hosting is configured, Sparkbooth will automatically upload each photo to the selected hosting service. After the photo is uploaded, Sparkbooth generates a QR code that links directly to the uploaded photo's URL. Guests can scan this QR code with their mobile device to view or download their photo immediately.

Photo Album QR Code Sharing

  1. Open settings and navigate to "Photo Album," then "Image Options" or "GIF Options" in the left sidebar.
  2. Enable the checkbox labeled "Show QR."
  3. Choose a photo hosting option from the "Photo Hosting" dropdown menu.
  4. Configure the photo hosting by clicking on the "Configure…" button.
  5. Click "Close" to save the settings.

Dropbox Sharing Setup

  1. In the Dropbox settings, enable the "Public share link" setting. This will generate a publicly accessible link to the uploaded photo.

Google Drive Sharing Setup

For Google Drive photo sharing, modify the folder access where photos are uploaded.

Steps for Sharing on Google Drive

  1. Access Google Drive: Go to the folder where photos are stored.
  2. Select Your Folder: Choose the folder you wish to share.
  3. Open Sharing Settings:
    • Web: Right-click the folder and select "Share" or click the "Share" icon at the top right.
    • Mobile: Tap the three dots by the folder and choose "Share."
  4. Adjust General Access:

    • On the web, find "General access" and select "Change to anyone with the link" if it’s set to "Private to you."

    • Change viewer permissions as needed by using the dropdown menu.
  5. Set Permissions:
    • Under "General access," choose "Anyone with the link" and set the access level: Viewer, Commenter, or Editor.
  6. Confirm Changes:
    • Click "Done" to save the new permissions.

Google Photos Sharing

  1. In Sparkbooth, go to the Google Photos upload settings and create an album. Sparkbooth can only access albums it creates.

  2. Open Google Photos and go to the album you want to share.

  3. Click on the album, then select the "Options" button (usually indicated by three dots or a gear icon at the top right corner of the screen).

  4. In the options menu, click on "Options".

  5. After clicking on "Options," ensure "Link sharing" is turned ON (it should show a blue toggle switched to the right).

  6. Click on "Copy link." This action copies the URL to your clipboard, which is the shareable link to your album.

  7. Open Sparkbooth, go to the Google Photos settings, enable "Share photo album," and paste the copied URL from Google Photos.

Note: The Google Photos service can be unreliable. Frequently, it does not return the albums created by Sparkbooth. We recommend using Google Drive instead.
