Who this helps
families and coordinators using private cloud folders to share photos, captions, music notes, and editor briefs.
24-hour tribute planning
Prepare a private folder handoff for memorial video files.
Prepare a memorial video folder handoff for Dropbox, Google Drive, or another private storage service with permissions, naming, and deletion notes.
What to gather
- Restricted folder access
- Approved subfolders
- Editor brief file
- Deletion request
Suggested workflow
- Create one restricted folder.
- Add sorted subfolders and the brief.
- Share access only with approved people.
- Remove access after delivery.
Privacy boundary
MemorialRushAI does not automatically upload family photos or service details. Use secure transfer only, review every name and date, and ask the editor to delete working files after delivery and approval.
Rush readiness checklist
- Place must-use photos and the editor brief at the top level or in clearly named folders.
- Avoid changing folder structure after the editor starts unless you send a change note.
- Keep an optional-late folder for additions that may not make the first render.
Family review notes
- Check that the final brief and folder names match the honored person's preferred name.
- Confirm contributors did not upload duplicate, private, or do-not-use images.
- Keep one coordinator responsible for permissions and final access removal.
Privacy and consent checklist
- Use expiring or restricted links when the storage service supports them.
- Do not make the folder public or searchable.
- Ask the editor to confirm deletion of working copies after approval.
Editor handoff review
Before checkout, make sure the brief includes the final contact email, deadline, video length, music notes, photo count, required captions, and any do-not-use instructions. A clean handoff reduces rework during a sensitive deadline.
When a paid memorial handoff is worth it
Buy the $49 starter only after the free brief has enough names, dates, photos, service timing, tone, and music notes for a careful editor handoff. Use the $99 expanded pack when the family also needs archive notes, accessibility review prompts, after-service copy, backup naming, and resharing notes. Skip payment if you need photo scanning, final video production, public posting, funeral-home contact, USB creation, file deletion, grief counseling, legal advice, music licensing advice, accessibility certification, consent advice, or guaranteed delivery, playback, approval, privacy, ranking, traffic, sales, or revenue.
Does MemorialRushAI provide the Dropbox folder?
No. Use a storage account controlled by the family or approved coordinator.
Can I use Google Drive instead?
Yes. The handoff checklist works for any private folder with controlled access.
