Kontainer – a professional alternative to Google Drive

Google Drive is widely used for file storage and collaboration, but when organizations work strategically with brand assets, marketing materials, and visual content, its limitations quickly become apparent.

Kontainer is a Digital Asset Management (DAM) system that gives you full control, structure, and visibility over your digital assets – a single, centralized platform for managing, sharing, and maintaining all your files.

*Please note that migration may involve costs.

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  • Version control and history: Avoid outdated files and errors – always work with the latest approved version.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.

The Process

From Google Drive to Kontainer

We help you move safely and efficiently from Google Drive to Kontainer:

  1. Review of your current structure: We analyze your folders, files, and workflows in Google Drive.
  2. Migration of files and metadata: Assets are transferred to Kontainer in a structured and secure way.
  3. DAM setup and configuration: Categories, tags, metadata, and user roles are tailored to your organization.
  4. Onboarding and support: Your team is trained to get maximum value from Kontainer from day one.

Use Cases

When does Kontainer create the most value?

Kontainer is ideal if you:

  • Work with large volumes of images, videos, and visual content
  • Have multiple teams or external partners sharing assets
  • Need better control over brand and marketing materials
  • Want to ensure consistent use of logos, images, and brand guidelines
