Secure way to collect and manage school event photos from volunteers

Question

I’m putting together a school memory book and need a secure way to collect photos from volunteer photographers after each event. Ideally, volunteers could upload batches of photos without creating their own accounts. I need to review and select images easily, do light edits like red-eye removal, and download the files when needed. Storage needs are modest, but privacy is very important because the photos are of children. What’s a safe and practical way to handle this?

The OP says "we will have a volunteer take photos". Since there is only one volunteer per event, this makes it easier. After the event, you can borrow their card and make a copy. You may want to have spare cards in case the volunteer is uncomfortable with you handling their cards which may have photos from outside the event.

For light editing, there are several applications available (both free and paid).

This approach maintains security, you don't have to wait for the volunteer to upload and there's no fussing over accounts and passwords.

Photo sharing sites can be tricky. Sharing accounts or uploading photos that you did not take gets into a gray area.
