- 😴 Some forgot to send: Days after the party, some haven’t sent photos, feel bad about constantly reminding
- 👴 Elderly can’t operate: Want to share with older relatives, but operations are too complex, they can’t learn
- 📱 Takes up phone space: Too many photos, phone storage is full, but can’t bear to delete

Wouldn’t it be great if there was a way to let everyone at the party easily upload and view photos?
This is exactly what PhotoCab shared albums solve!

- ❌ Not all friends use the same social platform
- ❌ Photos easily get buried, hard to preserve long-term
Method 3: Email
- ❌ Complex operations, many people don’t know how to use
- ❌ Email attachment size limitations
- ❌ Not immediate enough, lacks interactivity
- ❌ Elderly and children don’t know how to use
Method 4: USB Drive/Cloud Storage
- ❌ Need face-to-face copying or complex sharing operations
- ❌ Many people don’t know how to use cloud storage, barrier too high
- ❌ Lacks the exclusive atmosphere of birthday parties
- ❌ Not convenient enough, poor experience
