  • For many senders and one album, use a Room.
STEP 1

What pCloud Transfer offers

Its site says you can send up to 5 GB for free with no registration. Senders without an account confirm their email, and a password encrypts the files in the browser.

STEP 2

Where events need more

A wedding or a trip is many people sending many files. One-to-one transfers mean one link per person and a pile of downloads at the end.

STEP 3

Put the event in one Room

Guests add photos and videos to the same link, no account. You can add a PIN, approve uploads first, and download everything at once.
