WeTransfer is perfect for sending a folder of files to someone. It is not a shared album: every guest would send a separate transfer, leaving you with 30 inboxes to merge. PhotoDrop centralises everything in one album.
Create my albumFree, no account. Guests upload their photos from a single link.
WeTransfer is one-way: one sender, one recipient. For a wedding or birthday you want the opposite — a single album that receives photos from all guests in real time.
Pick PhotoDrop if you want to watch the album fill up during the night, instead of receiving 30 WeTransfer emails on Monday.
PhotoDrop is intentionally focused on one scenario: collecting photos from an event.
