Host your event photos online
Cloudinary is where the tablet uploads each photo so the share screen can render a QR code pointing at the hosted image. You own the account. The tablet uses an unsigned upload preset, which means your API secret never lives on the device.
Create a Cloudinary account
Sign up at cloudinary.com. You can skip the questions about your stack.
Note your cloud name
From the dashboard at console.cloudinary.com, look at the “Account Details” card. The Cloud name is usually your account handle. Copy it.
Create an unsigned upload preset
Open Settings, then Upload, then Upload presets (or visit console.cloudinary.com/settings/upload).
Click Add upload preset and configure:
- Preset name:
snapcabin_events(or any name you like) - Signing Mode: Unsigned
- Folder: leave blank. The tablet sets a folder per event.
- Allowed formats:
jpg, png, webp - Max file size: 10000000 (10 MB) so a stranger with the preset name can’t upload anything huge.
Save the preset and copy the exact name you chose.
Unsigned presets let anyone who knows the name upload. Always restrict by format and size. If a preset name leaks, you can delete it from the same page and create a new one in seconds.
Enter the credentials on the tablet
On the tablet:
- Long-press the bottom-right corner of the Attract screen.
- Enter the admin PIN.
- Open QR DOWNLOADS and turn on “Upload photos to Cloudinary for QR sharing”.
- Paste the Cloud name and the upload preset name. Both are case-sensitive.
Test an upload
Start a test event from the EVENT section and capture a photo. The QR code tile on the share screen lights up once the upload finishes. The tablet uploads to events/<your-event-name>/ in your Cloudinary account. Open the Media Library to confirm the photo arrived.
