Your Pictures into Treasures
Hopefully you have noticed by now that you can easily transform your digital pictures into lasting treasures directly from the photos you already have posted on DropShots!
Not only can you instantly turn pixels into glossy Kodak quality photos, but you can also create these fun products as well:
Photobooks, Calendars, Posters, Greeting Cards, Post Cards, Mouse Pads, Mugs, Key Chains, T-shirts and more!
Personally, I know I have some fun things planned for the holiday… I am going to be taking LOTS of photos then compiling all those memories into Photo Books and Calendars and sending them to my participating friends and family.
Another thing I am doing is taking all my photos from all of 2007 and creating a "The Year in Pictures" Photo Book… kind of a year book of sorts. It’s a great way to memorialize, archive and make use of all the photos taken from the past year.
DropShots wishes you and your family a warm and wonderful holiday!

I’ve set up a “To Print” folder in Dropshots to make it easier to find the specific photos I want prints of or want to use for gifts.

Darren,
FYI…I have to submit a support ticket for 2 photo books I received from Qoop but “DropShots” is not an option in their “Photo Service” dropdownlistbox on their support page (http://www.qoop.com/about/supportForm.php) . I selected something at random and noted “Photo Service: DROPSHOTS” in the service ticket as well as a comment that DropShots was not an option in the ddlb. I wanted to make you aware so you might be able to push from your end so your customers are ensured prompt service when there are any issues with their order.

Before signing up…I have a question about this service. Assuming I upload a couple of pictures and share them with a group of people…
1. Must each person in the group have an account with dropshots?
2. Can they download the shared pictures onto their computers in the original file size? Meaning no loss of quality.
Thank you.
****************
[From Susan -- Customer Support]
1) Anyone can view your site, whether or not they have a DropShots account, as long as you’ve shared your user name with them.
2) Photos are automatically resized from their original size when they are uploaded. So, no, you won’t be downloading the original file size.

Hello, I noticed you provide backup DVDs and CDs for photos. Do you do that for videos as well? I love sharing my videos with my family members!
*****************
[From Susan - Customer Support]
Video dvds are not yet available. However, we’re working on adding that, so watch for that to come soon!

Have ya’ll thought about including the comments and captions on the backup DVDs and CDs? The comments made on the videos and photos could easily become treasured memories over time. Please consider this for a future option. Thanks so much!

Thank you Emily for your suggestion! The management team will definitely consider this for the future.

One thing I loved about dropshots when I signed up for Star Membership is the “NO Ads– ever!” claim. But now I feel like I’m getting these Kodak ads above my comments on a regular basis. Can you please remove those?

[From Susan - Customer Support]
Those are not ads, but rather, our way of communicating a service that’s available to our customers. We just want our customers to know what we’re providing for your convenience.

Would really like the option of viewing “By Date” from most recent picture taken (like the option we had briefly a while back). For example, when I click on 2008, I’d like to see the most recent pictures I’ve uploaded, not the ones from January. At least give us this option. This seems easy enough to accomodate. C’mon guys. It’s a royal pain to click on every day to see the pictures you can’t see from the main page. It’s so much nicer to view everything on one page. You keep saying, we are working on it, but there hasn’t been a new blog update since December 2007.

Would love to see a blog update re: anything ‘in the works’ for DropShots!
May 14th, 2008 at 3:38 pm
Yay!!!
Thanks a ton for the new DropBox for Mac (v1.10). Finally a version that doesn’t stall on Resizing and requires a restart after uploading only one picture at a time. Just ran through 17 images without a problem.
Will give video a try next.

When will the “search” feature be back up and running? It’s been down for almost a year now.

I have a dropshots account and want to upgrade. Does anyone know if its possible to change the name when I upgrade or do I have to re-upload all the pics under the new name? Can my BF and I combine our two accounts?
Help!
****************
[From Susan - Customer Support]
Yes, you can change your user name at any time. Simply log in to your account, click on Settings at the top right corner of your screen, click on the User Settings tab, enter a new user name in the Username field, and click on Save.
Unfortunately, 2 separate accounts cannot be combined into one.

Are you still working there? I’m wondering if the Search function will ever be restored. I’ve emailed twice about it this year, but I’m still waiting.

Hi Susan and crew. Wonder if you have any suggestions for people having trouble viewing the site in IE 6? Nothing shows up on the page and I get an error in the corner. Click the error icon and the error reads:
Line: 10
Char: 1
Error: Object Expected
Code: 0
URL: http://dropshots.com/myuserid
I have a relative experiencing the same problem when they try to view my page. It works fine in Firefox. Is it possible one of my images is corrupt somehow and causing it not to display?
Thanks!

We suggest upgrading to IE 7, the latest version, which you can download from here: http://www.microsoft.com/windows/downloads/ie/getitnow.mspx
And be sure to have Java Script enabled. Go to Tools > Internet Options > Advanced > Reset default settings.
