Why a DAM is better than Google Drive
- DAM
- data
- efficiency
Google Drive is great for storing files, but it isn’t built for managing business-critical assets. As teams grow, you run into common problems: no single source of truth, duplicate versions, and difficulty controlling access.
A Digital Asset Management (DAM) system solves these issues. It’s purpose-built to:
- Centralize files with metadata and search
- Enforce version control and access rights
- Integrate with product, marketing, and commerce platforms
Business benefit:
- Faster product launches (teams find the right image instantly)
- Reduced compliance risk (controlled access, audit logs)
- Less wasted time (no more digging through folders)
Takeaway: Google Drive is a tool for individuals and small teams. A DAM is a foundation for organizations that want efficiency, scale, and control.
