How do businesses share and organize photos?
Sharing photos has always been a pain, especially when it comes to business needs. FTP is normally what’s used and it’s a cumbersome process. Not everyone is able to do it and it becomes a management nightmare trying to source photos from everyone involved. With the widespread use of mobile phones it has become an even more difficult process that FTP isn’t able to solve. Your teams are losing time and money dealing with the inefficient and problematic use of FTP and they don’t have the time or resources necessary to waste on figuring out how to share photos when they should be getting stuff done.
The FTP problem
FTP is not easy to use and not everyone can do it. Installing an FTP program – such as Filezilla, WinSCP, CuteFTP, or Transmit – takes up space and isn’t an easy process to complete. It can even take a technical background to use some of these programs. Then everyone needs to make sure they have the correct credentials and that they are up to date. If the credentials are changed then everyone needs to be notified or they won’t be able to share any photos. And finally everyone has to know how to use the FTP program they have installed. The time and energy to maintain and troubleshoot FTP programs for your team is not worthwhile and is a huge drain on your resources.

Your team can more easily share photos with you while saving a lot of time and resources.
