Photo sharing on Google Drive, other options?

Our take

Sharing photos efficiently is essential for your university’s improv team, especially with performances every Monday. While Google Drive has served you well, running out of storage can hinder your ability to share moments with the team. Exploring alternatives like Dropbox could offer a solution, but understanding its capabilities is crucial. Additionally, considering other cloud storage options that allow collaborative sharing without the burden of individual storage limits may provide a more sustainable solution. It's important to find a cost-effective platform that benefits everyone involved.

So I take photos for my university’s improv team and they perform every Monday, so I get quite a lot of photos. I share all these photos using Google Drive, as I am able to access that on my computer and everyone can access the photos from the app

However, I have run into a blockade where I have run out of storage. I thought about buying more storage, however if I do so (from my understanding) the others will run out of storage since they do not have the upgraded storage like I would. I thought about looking into Dropbox, but I don’t know much about that program. I am willing to pay/im pretty sure the improv team would pay for it since I am a member and it’s a service for them they could pass down to whoever takes my position after I graduate.

I’m just running out of ideas and everything is either super costly or wouldn’t be best for my situation :(

Storage and Sharing of PhotosI mostly shoot landscape and wildlife photography, and I don’t usually share it with other people except maybe on my personal instagram or website, but never in a way where I intend it to be downloaded. However, I’ve offered to shoot graduation pictures for a few different people/groups of people in the coming days and weeks, and I was curious what everyone uses to share photos with people. I have a Dropbox subscription with 3tb of storage (more than enough) but it doesn’t seem like it’s a super efficient way to let people download individual and selected images after a photoshoot. There’s obviously paid gallery options (I’ve looked at Pixieset and SmugMug), but I don’t really want to pay for something like that since 75%+ of my photos are landscape or wildlife that aren’t meant to be shared in that way. I know it probably makes the most sense to just stick with Dropbox since I only have a handful of grad shoots for right now, but I am wondering if anyone has suggestions for other ways I could store and manage sharing my photos in the future, knowing that it’s only a small part of the photography I do. One other thing is that I don’t plan to actually sell any of my photos (photoshoots are for friends and I’m doing it for free), so I don’t need the ability to do that. submitted by /u/Valuable_Citron_3141 [link] [comments]
