Lindsey M
SR. Marketing Consultant
5.0

Lindsey M. : Hi, my name is Lindsey. I am a senior marketing consultant. I give Brandfolder five stars. For more reviews like this, click on the link below. Before using Brandfolder, our agency was using a combination of many different tools, some of which I'm sure you've heard of, Dropbox, Box Google, Google Drive, SharePoint, OneDrive, lots of different files. But Brandfolder really solved a problem by centralizing all of our files and making them in a clean, organized format that our clients can easily access. The reason we chose Brandfolder for our business is we needed a file management tool that was easy for our internal team that is completely distributed. So we have no physical office, so it was imperative that the organization and sharing capabilities of our file management system be easy to roll out company wide and truthfully, for people sitting all over the globe. It was also incredibly important that we had a tool that was easy for clients and their internal teams to navigate. So Brandfolder gives you the ability to create these awesome tabs and organization systems for files that are very easily searchable. You can pin them at the top, make easy to use buttons, and it really ... It's a great UI to work with, and so we're super happy with it. We've been using it for several years now and have rolled it out to over a dozen clients. So when we were rolling out Brandfolder internally, we took a lot of time to dig into file structure that would make sense for us as well as our clients. All of our clients have different engagements, so there's no one size fits all or turnkey solution for us. But Brandfolder made it really easy to establish a baseline and then start populating from there, identify the top categories that exist across almost all accounts, populate those and then customize further based on client engagement and need. I think our team was able to easily upload and transfer over files, was easily able to share access to the brand folders, both internally, as well as with clients and to this day, the sharing capabilities, as well as file download formats, are the biggest time savers for us as a company. I know we use them day in and day out of across our entire organization. If you're considering using Brandfolder for your business, I would highly recommend it. I think it's incredibly effective and efficient for large files for a lot of graphic elements and tools that really allow collaboration across teams. So if you're just looking for one person to manage files, sure it could be helpful, but I think where brand folder real shines is the organization for the agency side, graphic designers, account team, as well as clients all working together with the ease and access of files from a search tool that you don't have to have the exact file name, and you don't have to know exactly when this was created. The folder structure, the tagging, and really the pinning of categories makes it a no-brainer and super easy to use in your day-to-day business.

President
5.0

Eugene L.: Hi, my name's Eugene. I am the owner of a commercial real estate company. We have about five people within our company. And I give Google Workspace five out of five. I used Microsoft Teams before, and where Microsoft Teams and Google Workspace have similar functionality, I just found Google Workspace to be more user-friendly across all my employees in different departments. I chose Google Workspace for my businesses because of how user-friendly it is and how cost-effective it is. Onboarding Google Workspace was actually pretty easy. I started with the email functionality, our main form of communication with both clients and tenants alike with our commercial real estate business. And then, as we worked through that system, we started using the drive. We started using cloud functionality, Google Workspace Docs, spreadsheets, etc. For those of you looking to integrate Google Workspace into your business, I highly recommend making sure that you're aware of how to integrate your website with Google Business and how that works to improve your business, as well as get reviews, etc.
