My story about Grandma Ruth.
MyStoryAbout gives you a link and a QR code anyone can use to record a video story about a loved one, your organization, or a moment worth remembering — no app, no account, no fuss. Every story lands safely in your own Google Drive. And it's free.
Free to use · No credit card · Storytellers never need an account
Prompt
Share your favorite memory of John
The stories people carry about the ones they love are priceless — and they disappear if nobody asks. We built MyStoryAbout so asking is easy.
How it works
Three steps. About two minutes.
Create a campaign
Name it, add a photo, write your prompts ("What's your favorite memory of Mom?"). Takes about two minutes.
Share your link or QR code
Text it, email it, put the QR code on a table at the memorial or on a slide at your event. Anyone with a phone can respond.
Stories arrive in your Google Drive
Each video lands in a tidy folder you own. We never store your videos — they're yours, forever, even if we vanish tomorrow.
It's why MyStoryAbout is free — we facilitate the stories; your Drive keeps them.
What will you collect stories about?
In Memory Of…
When someone passes, memories scatter fast. Create a campaign, share the link with everyone who loved them, and gather the stories — laughing, crying, all of it — into one place. Turn them into a tribute video that keeps them close.
For Your Organization or Brand
Send one email: "Share your story." Members, volunteers, customers, and alumni record themselves in 60 seconds — and you get a Drive folder full of authentic video ready for social media, fundraising, and your website.
For Life's Big Moments
Weddings, retirements, graduations, anniversaries, reunions. Put a QR code on every table and capture the toasts nobody thought to film.
…and anything else
Yes, actually free. Here's why we can do that.
Video hosting is what makes other tools expensive — some charge $35 per event, others thousands per year. MyStoryAbout never stores your videos: they go straight from the storyteller's phone into your Google Drive. No storage bills for us means we can keep story collecting free.

Questions, answered.
Is it really free?+
Yes — creating campaigns and collecting stories is free. Because we never store video, it costs us very little to run, and we pass that on to you.
Where do the videos go?+
Your own Google Drive, in a folder per campaign. You own them outright.
Do storytellers need an account?+
No — just the link or QR code.
What if someone doesn't want to be on camera?+
They can upload a video they've recorded, and can submit anonymously.
How long can videos be?+
You choose: 1–5 minutes per story.
Do you make the tribute/social videos for me?+
Not yet — you get a perfectly organized folder ready for any editor or editing app. (It's on the roadmap.)
Is my Google account safe?+
We use Google's most restrictive permission — we can only touch folders we create, nothing else in your Drive.
What happens to my videos if MyStoryAbout shuts down?+
Nothing. They're in your Drive, not ours.
Someone's story is waiting. Ask for it.
