Send from your iPhone's share sheet

A "Send to Piccolo" Shortcut puts Piccolo in the Photos share sheet. It needs two things:

Address
Your code: Make one below. It sends as you, to this family. Treat it like a password.

How to build the Shortcut (about 5 minutes)

In Shortcuts, tap + and name it Send to Piccolo. Tap ⓘ, turn on Show in Share Sheet, and set it to receive Images and Media.
Add Repeat with Each on Shortcut Input.
Inside it, add If Repeat Item → Type is Movie:
- If: Encode Media Repeat Item at 1280×720.
- Otherwise: Resize Image to width 2048, then Convert Image to JPEG.
In each branch, add Get Contents of URL with the address above. Under Show More: Method POST, header X-Token = your code, Request Body File = the encoded or converted item.
After the repeat, add Show Notification: Sent to Piccolo ❤️.

Your new code. Copy it now; it won't be shown again.
