Whether it is an album link for everyone or a single image via QR code: the photo booth uploads the images, the guests pick them up. You only decide where they are stored. The software supports all three ways equally – which one fits depends on what your guests should see and how much you want to look after yourself.
Three ways
All three work with the same photo booth and can be chosen per event. The difference is what your guests get to see – and who looks after the storage.
Dropbox, Google Drive, Nextcloud, pCloud, FTP

Two questions are enough.
Both work via QR code – the difference is what opens behind it.
The gallery is the same in both cases.

BoothCloud · coming soon
A server just for you, at yourname.boothcloud.de or your own domain. All plans can do the same, remote access to the photo booth included – they only differ in storage. Cancel monthly or pay a year in advance, which is cheaper.
50 GB
100 GB
200 GB
300 GB
All prices include 19 % VAT. The event figures are guide values from real photo booth events and refer to how many events are stored at the same time: an event with around 200 layout images takes up about 0.35 GB, with originals and edited single shots about 3.3 GB. Old events can be deleted automatically, which frees up the space again.
Open calculation
The prices cover the running costs. On top of that, €2.00 per server and month remains – €1.00 for provisioning, administration and working time, €1.00 as a buffer. No more. Pick a plan and see where every euro goes.
You pay per year
The calculation assumes every plan is filled to the last gigabyte. So the price stays the same even when your galleries grow.
The work around your server is not included anywhere else:
The buffer keeps the service running even when things turn out differently than planned:
The yearly plan costs roughly as much as eight months on the monthly plan. The fixed fee of €1.00 per payment is charged only once instead of every month. And the monthly plan is calculated so that it still works with only nine booked months per year – many operators only book during the season, but the server still has to be available all year.
If costs rise permanently or drop noticeably, the prices are adjusted – with advance notice and the same open calculation. Questions about this are welcome at hello@rawcapturebooth.app.
BoothCloud · cancellation
Yes. The storage location is chosen per event. One party can go to the BoothCloud, the next one to the customer's Dropbox folder.
For your guests there is none – it is the same gallery, in both cases under your own domain if you like. With the BoothCloud, server, backups and updates are included, and remote access to the photo booth is already set up. With your own web space you rent the storage from a host yourself, €60 to 120 per year depending on storage needs, and set it up with the assistant – or you run your own server, for example at home; for remote access you additionally need your own Cloudflare account with a domain, about €12 per year.
The software is deliberately not a subscription service. Only the rentable cloud storage option is a subscription, because it cannot be run any other way. It was actually never planned, but was implemented after all because of high demand.
Yes. You set a DNS record at your domain provider that points, for example, gallery.your-photobooth.com to your BoothCloud server. Guests then only see your address.
For many events, yes. Guests get a link to the event folder and their single image via QR. What is missing is a gallery page of your own, the event management and access for the host.
If you only upload the finished layout images, 50 GB is enough for well over a hundred events. If originals and single shots should go online too, it depends on how many events stay available at the same time – the guide values are listed with the plans. Because old events can be deleted automatically, the storage is a rotation rather than an annual budget.
