How do you share photos with a group without making everyone download an app?

Quick answer

Use a browser-based shared album with a QR code or link — for example Eventoly. Everyone scans or taps the link, uploads from their phone's browser and the photos land in one album, in original quality, with no app or account. It works for weddings, birthdays, trips, reunions and company events.

Google Photos shared album: free, but contributors usually sign in with Google and it uses your storage.
WhatsApp group: everyone has it, but photos are compressed and lost in chat.
Dropbox file request: no account to upload, but it's one-way and uses your storage.
AirDrop: instant for iPhones nearby, useless for Android and after the event.
