A Sundust product
Gather
Every photo from your day. Even the ones you never saw.
Your guests are already taking hundreds of photographs. Gather collects them all into one album, and into your Google Drive, not ours.
Free forever for collecting. No card needed.
How it works
Three things, then you’re done
Connect your Google Drive
Your photos go into a folder in your own account. Sundust never holds the originals, and we can only see the album we created. Nothing else in your Drive is visible to us.
Share one link or QR code
Print it on table cards, pop it in the order of service, WhatsApp it to the group. No app, no sign-up, no account. Guests just open it and upload.
Everyone sees the album
Photos appear in a shared gallery as they arrive, so the day is being retold while it's still happening. Guests can share any shot straight to WhatsApp.
Your photos stay yours
We built this so the files never belong to us.
Most photo-sharing services keep your memories on their servers, behind their subscription. Gather doesn’t.
Where the photos live
Most apps:On their servers, in their account
Gather:In your own Google Drive
If you walk away
Most apps:Locked behind the subscription
Gather:Nothing moves — they're yours
What we can see
Most apps:Whatever the app asked for
Gather:Only the album we created
We ask Google for the narrowest permission there is: access to the files this app created, and nothing else. The rest of your Drive stays invisible to us.
One-time, per album
Choose how much help you want
Collecting is free, always. Pay only if you want a say in what everybody sees, or if you’d like us to make something beautiful out of it.

Being honest
About that one photo
Somebody will upload something you’d rather not have on the wall. A blurry thumb, a bad angle, a joke that doesn’t land. On Curate you can hide it in two taps, and hiding really does mean hidden: the file moves into a Hidden folder in your Drive and stops being viewable by anyone.
You choose how it works. Leave photos appearing instantly and hide the odd one, which keeps the gallery alive during the party, or hold everything back and approve them yourself before a single guest sees anything.
Set it up now, use it whenever the day comes.
An album takes a couple of minutes to create and costs nothing to run. Print the card, and forget about it until the photos start arriving.
