How to share Diwali and festival photos with the whole family
Festivals fill your phone and your Drive with photos and videos. Here is how to share Diwali, Eid, Holi, and other festival media with the whole family, near and far, in one link.

Festivals are when the whole family gathers, the good clothes come out, and the cameras never stop. By the end of Diwali your phone is full, your Drive is fuller, and relatives across three cities and two countries all want the photos. Sharing them should feel as warm and easy as the day itself, not like tech support for the extended family.
Festival photos scatter fast
Everyone shoots, so the memories end up scattered across a dozen phones. Then they get dribbled into family group chats in compressed little batches, the rangoli looks washed out, the video of the kids bursting crackers is too big to send, and somehow nobody has the full set.
Pull it together into one gallery
The fix is to gather the festival's media in Google Drive and share it as a single gallery. Family near and far open one link and see the whole celebration, full quality, in order, on whatever device they have.
