Simple file upload for family - PHP

I have a simple piwigo photo gallery set up so family can acess photos.

I want to set up a php page for them to easily upload files (photos, videos, etc) to me from family functions. I was hoping to have a single login for everyone and just a place to drop files. Nothing more.

I tried ProjectSend, but each person would need a seperate password so they can manage "their files" etc... I just need a simple drop and forget page with credentials.

I could write my own simple upload page and script, but was hoping for something pretty and with a user friendly UI.

Any ideas?

How about using a WYSIWYG editor like CKeditor along with its addons? There are file uploaders/file browsers for it. I'd imagine you'd have to customize it still, though.

Thanks michalrz. I ended up going with a manual process. I really just wanted a single clean page for uploading. The gallery in Piwigo is pretty good but even that is too busy looking so I'm going to migrate to Lychee. So family uploads to me, using the upload page and I then add the photos I want to the gallery.

So I started with the simple "business2" template from Quackit.com. Located Here
Then I added the plain old PHP uploader from W3Schools
Lastly for some login security I added the php-login-minimal github project

I know it's a bit more work than I was looking for but now with some php.ini modifications and customization to the uploader I have a nice secure drop location for family to send me photos or any other kind of file should I choose to accept it.

My biggest problem now is to try to get the "choose file" button to match the template's green button. I can get the submit to look fine, but the choose file button is still ugly grey. Work to be done!

Thanks for your input though!
