Understand upload and approval status

An upload must finish before it can be used as a shared photo. If approval is enabled, it also needs the host’s review before appearing to other guests or on the slideshow.

The host’s Album view includes moderation states and management actions. Guests see the content they are authorized to view. A hidden or deleted photo will no longer be a shared moment.

Download the memories as the host

One event includes up to 1,000 photos or 5 GB, whichever limit is reached first. Uploads normally remain open for 30 days after the event and retention lasts three calendar months after it. The dates shown on your event are the dates to use.

Private scavenger-hunt entries do not enter the normal album simply because they were submitted in a game. The host must separately publish eligible game photos, and any required album approval still applies.

1. Open Download from the host event workspace.
2. Select Prepare ZIP archive and wait for its preparation status.
3. Download the ready archive using the provided control, then save it somewhere you control.
4. Check the event’s Uploads open until and Album kept until dates. Download before retention ends.

If a photo does not appear

• Check whether it is uploading, failed, pending approval or already saved.
• If the album is read-only or contributions are closed, guests can no longer add photos.
• Ask the host to check the remaining photo/storage allowance and moderation queue.
• A photo used privately in a game is not automatically a shared album photo.
