Are QR press kits worth it on site

We piloted a QR code on press badges at Saturday’s community day that linked to a media kit (captioned photos, b‑roll, and a one‑page fact sheet), and three TV crews filed faster with fewer errors reaching the public. If you’ve tried this, which platform handled big files and last‑minute swaps best for you — Google Drive, Dropbox, or a dedicated press portal — and did it move the needle on coverage and community turnout?

Dropbox handled big b-roll; ‘last-minute swaps’ worked via replace file, same link; watch for offline crews — print short URL too.

We’ve had best luck pointing the QR to a tiny press subdomain that 302s to a Dropbox folder; Replace keeps the link stable and Drive throttled on heavy b‑roll days. > offline crews — print short URL too. We print the same vanity URL under the code and add a?v timestamp when we push swaps so crews refresh what’s cached.

Box handled our Saturday press badges; versioning kept links stable and ingest quick. @OP, mobile preview hiccups; use https://box.com.
