eyla0312 Posted July 15 Report Share Posted July 15 Taking into account that the Kodak Moments app stopped working and is no longer available in the appstore, I would like to know what solutions you use to send images from mobile phones (Android and Iphone) to the kiosk or apex. Maybe you want to share your experiences on this topic? Regards, Raidel Perez Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Kmit Posted July 16 Report Share Posted July 16 In Italy, the customers use the bluetooth for android and airprint for apple or the cables. Every week the customers who had the app, received offers for send the photo directly to kodak moments/Kodak Alaris in Germany and then the stores have stopped promoting the app. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Dave S Posted July 16 Report Share Posted July 16 Anyone using DiLand Kiosk software? https://fiteng.net/en/diland-kiosk-software.aspx Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
eyla0312 Posted July 16 Author Report Share Posted July 16 (edited) I have a VPS where I create my own file sharing server. Reading a QR code, the client accesses my VPS website and sends the images from his device (android or Iphone) to the server and this synchronizes with a folder on my internal network that is shared with the Kodak Kiosk. In a matter of seconds the photo appears in the kiosk to be processed and printed. It has had a magnificent acceptance among clients Edited July 16 by eyla0312 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Kmit Posted July 16 Report Share Posted July 16 The best solution for apple is to have a Apple mac in the store and it is free. The customer use airpdrop with Apple mac and through the shared folder Pmhd or another folder the photos are on the Kiosk or Apex. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

There was a company called LiveLink in the UK that had really good Kiosks, but unfortunately they have dropped out of the Kiosk market now.

It works with every device including Apple every time and the user interface is clean and simple. And it's quite cheap. Dave S 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The company is leader in Italy, the order station is a bit expensive, but you can also buy just the software, one licence for one pc. The basic software does not include collages, calendarshe,greeting cards and driver for printers. T Dave S 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Spinningcurrent Posted July 18 Report Share Posted July 18 Kodak Moments died in 2016 when they started to send ads to the customers. Before it was awesome, fast, quick, just upload and choose the printer shop. Then it wanted to become an instagram clone that required a lot of storage, and a great part of our customers (we live in a poor zone) had those cheap wiko/Micromax with just 8gb of storage, they couldn't even run the app. The day they started sending ads to the customers bypassing entirely our business, we removed all the signs and stickers and we just used a local upload website. We were shocked when we discovered it. A customer that was coming every week to print hundreds of pictures one day said "omg your app is so good, you did such a good job printing that photobook, and it was so cheap". I installed the app, and it was promoting prints to customers bypassing the stupid stores who paid $$$ for the expensive kiosks.......

They destroyed a good system and screwed their retail members in the process. Loads of shops ditched Kodak express here in the UK, they were paying their fees and getting absolutely zero in return. How the once great Kodak has fallen. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Orundarkes Posted July 19 Report Share Posted July 19 The dakis kiosk allows you to scan a QR code and have the files pop up right on the kiosk via your local wifi network: Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
