💬 Step 3: Send Me the Link

Now that you have your link:

1. Paste it into an email or text message.
2. Send it to PreserveMyPhotosIdaho@gmail.com.
3. I’ll download everything directly in full quality.

✅ Quick Tips

• Don’t text the actual photos — texting compresses them.
• Sharing the folder link keeps the original quality.
• You don’t need to pay for cloud storage unless your files are huge (most projects fit in free space).
• If you get stuck, I can walk you through it over the phone or with screenshots.

✨ You’re Done!

Once I receive your link, I’ll download your photos and start your slideshow project.
