Can guests upload using a link instead of the QR code?

Q: Can guests upload using a link instead of the QR code?

Yes. The link and the QR code lead to exactly the same album with exactly the same upload page. The QR code is convenient for people standing in the room; the link is how you reach everyone else, including guests who could not make it and anyone who forgot to scan on the day.
