What exactly is the Web Forwarder?

Here we explain briefly what the picdrop Web Forwarder does. Perhaps this will make it easier for you to decide for or against it?

  • picdrop's Web Forwarder redirects links from your website to the corresponding picdrop gallery

  • the Web Forwarder has an influence on the appearance of your gallery links

  • the gallery link to a virtual gallery in picdrop without the Web Forwarder looks like this: www.picdrop.com/youraccount/galleryname

  • with Web Forwarder the link will look like this: www.yoursite.com/clients/galleryname or like this: https://picdrop.yoursite.com/galleryname

All galleries and the associated gallery links that were created before the Web Forwarder was installed will remain accessible after the installation as they were before. The links will not change when the Web Forwarder is installed on your server.

The picdrop gallery link will continue to be displayed in the address bar of your browser even after the Web Forwarder has been installed. In the Share menu of each gallery, however, you will now find your own Web Forwarder link to the gallery. Both links always work in parallel.

Very important: picdrop cannot be installed directly on your server. This is because picdrop is a very complex program that we are constantly working on for you. Furthermore, perfectly adapted servers and the interaction of several functions are part of the perfect picdrop, which is why it is not possible to use it on other servers.
