Note:<\/strong> Origami is no longer available.<\/p>\n

Family moments are worth sharing, preserving, and writing about. Sharing pictures<\/a>, videos, and moments with family usually means, for the average person, sitting down and sharing memories through a digital camera or mobile phone, but there is a much easier way. Let me introduce you to Origami<\/strong>.<\/p>\n

Not to be confused with photo and media storage services like Picturelife<\/a> or Dropbox<\/a>, Origami offers a new approach to sharing memories through media with your family members.<\/p>\n

Getting Started with Origami<\/h2>\n

Getting started with Origami is quick and simple. It boasts one of the easiest and fastest registration processes. Signing up registers you with a free trial account.<\/p>\n

\"Origami<\/figure>\n

Once your account is set up, you can invite all your family members to share your favorite moments and memories. Everyone can then post media, which will be neatly organized into a stylish family timeline.<\/p>\n

Adding Photos and Other Media<\/h2>\n

You can connect your Origami account with other cloud storage and photo-sharing services like Facebook, Picasa, Flickr, Smugmug, Drive, and Dropbox. This integration makes it a breeze to add photos, videos, slideshows, and whole albums.<\/p>\n

Other Noteworthy Features<\/h2>\n

Request Content and Moments<\/h3>\n

Curious about family history? You can request content and moments from family members registered with Origami. It\u2019s like a virtual family gathering where everyone can share past or recent events.<\/p>\n

\"Requesting<\/figure>\n

Sharing Media<\/h3>\n

Origami makes it easy to upload and share media with a \u201csticky\u201d sidebar that stays with you while navigating the app. Simply choose the media type you want to upload and follow the steps.<\/p>\n

\"Sharing<\/figure>\n

Sharing with Outside Family and Friends<\/h3>\n

Need to share memories with people outside your family circle? Origami makes it simple. Click \u201cShare Album\u201d or \u201cShare Moments\u201d under the content titles to email the link or contact them via Facebook and Twitter.<\/p>\n
