The photos of one dayare never on one phone.
dumpbox.ai started from a small, universal annoyance: after a party the photos all exist — scattered across everyone who was there, compressed inside chat threads — and within a month nobody can find them again.
What we make
We make a shared box for the photos of one moment. The organiser creates it; the people who were there scan a QR code and upload straight from the browser, with nothing to install and nothing to sign up for. At the end the photos sit in one place, at full quality, visible only to the people who were invited.
It is not a cloud drive and it is not a social network. A drive is filled by one person; a social network asks for an audience. Here many people fill the box and no stranger looks at it.
Why you won't find likes
There are no hearts, no followers, no counters anywhere. This is not a feature we postponed: it is the reason the product exists.
The moment a photo gets a score it stops being a memory and becomes a performance. Photos from a christening or a dinner with friends should not have to compete with anything, and the person who took them should not have to wonder whether they are good enough to upload.
The name, and its namesakes
It is written dumpbox.ai, in full. «Dumpbox» on its own is already, in the US, a junk removal service, an air suspension accessory and a morale patch shop: people who were here before us and who have nothing to do with photographs.
The domain is part of the name. It is the part that says which dumpbox we mean, which is why we always write it out — even when abbreviating would be easier.
Who makes it
dumpbox.ai is made by Domenico Zitiello, trading as Dumpbox — sole proprietorship (eenmanszaak), Netherlands, and it has existed since 2026.
We write the year down instead of leaving it out, because it changes what to expect: a product that is a few months old behaves like a product that is a few months old, and knowing that before you hand it a whole day of photos beats finding out afterwards.
It is a small product, and at this stage what gets built next is decided by talking to the people actually using it: everyone in the beta gets 100 GB forever and a direct line into those decisions.
