Description
From Google Drive to Kontainer
Google Drive is often used as a shared file repository, but it is not designed for professional brand asset management. Limited metadata options, lack of overview, and challenges with version control can make it difficult to ensure consistent and correct use of files across teams and external partners.
Kontainer is a Digital Asset Management system that provides a central platform for structuring, organizing, and distributing digital assets. With advanced search, clear permission structures, and version control, Kontainer ensures your organization always has access to the right files – in the right version and in the right context.
Benefits
Why choose Kontainer instead of Google Drive?
Google Drive is built as a general-purpose cloud storage solution for documents and collaboration. Kontainer, on the other hand, is specifically designed for organizations that need professional management of images, videos, graphics, and other marketing and brand assets.
With Kontainer, you get:
- Centralized asset management: All your digital assets collected in one system – structured, searchable, and easy to access.
- Advanced search and metadata: Find files instantly using tags, keywords, filters, and custom metadata.
- Full control over access and permissions: Decide exactly who can view, edit, and download each asset.
- Version control and history: Avoid outdated files and errors – always work with the latest approved version.
- Professional sharing and portals: Share assets with colleagues, partners, and customers via branded portals and collections.
