In a very easy and safe way, Wantoshare arranges to share media (photo’s and videos) with a defined (temporary) group of friends, especially created for an event or a occasion. The media that is presented for sharing within the group, is pre-selected by a timeframe (when was the media made) and optionally by a location (where was the media made). The group ends automatically 7 days after the group-timeframe.
The media that you have received from the group, is stored only in your photo library. Wantoshare only uses a cloudservice as a temporary buffer. All media is deleted from the cloud 7 days after the group-timeframe has ended.
To start using Wantoshare you do not need any account. It is fully anonimous.
Just follow these steps (whilst having a internet connection):
1. find a friend: to become Wantoshare-contacts, you need to ‘pair’ your devices, once. In the ‘my friends’-menu, one friend creates a unique code. The other friend or friends enter this code. Once ‘paired’ you can skip this step for future usuage of Wantoshare with these friends.
2. Create a group: to create a group you must choose a startdate (and time) and an enddate (and time). Optionally you can choose a location (and a radius). Then choose a group-name and select your friends (saved in your Wantoshare contactlist). Then push ‘create group’ and you’re ready to enjoy Wantoshare.
Once you have created a new group, the invited members get an invitation to join the group. Once accepted, they receive the same group-settings as the initiator (i.c. you). Every individual group-member can edit their individual enddate (and time) and can add new friends to the group (who can be accepted or declined by the other group-menbers (friends).
Once you have created a new group, every picture that you make (or save to your photo library), which complies with the set timeframe and/or location, is made available for sharing with your group-members (friends).
When you open Wantoshare, your new media (which complies with the group-settings) is presented to you for selection or deselection. You stay in control!
The selected media will be made available for your friends immediately after you push the button. Once shared, all the group-members (friends) get a notification that new media has been added and is available for downloading. Simultaniously to the downloading, in the same way, their new media will be made available to the rest of the group; it’s a chain reaction. All group-members will end up with the same collection of media, only stored safely in their own phones. The media is only stored in the cloud, up to 7 days after the end-date of the group. After this period the media is permanently deleted from the cloud.
Extra functions to stay in control:
If you don’t want that syncing (up-/download media) starts automatically upon opening Wantoshare, you can enable a ‘sync-button’. This way you can manually start the process (per active group) of syncing within a group. This way you can be in control of any unwanted data-use.
All the traffic goes via an internet connection. You need 3G/4G or Wifi at some point to sync with your group. Wantoshare holds record of all the media synced and prevents sending or receiving doubles.
Wantoshare does not delete any media from your photo library.
