Google Drive alternative
Stop delivering your best work
as a shared folder.
Drive is excellent storage and a poor deliverable. Momentz turns the same files into a branded gallery your client understands at a glance, with real 4K playback instead of Drive’s preview player, and downloads that do not need a Google account.

Three things a shared folder does to your work
It shows your personal account. The client sees an e-mail address, a Drive UI and, if the sharing settings slip, more of your files than you intended. Nothing about it says studio.
It flattens video. Drive’s in-browser player is not a delivery player: it re-encodes for preview, offers nothing like adaptive streaming. A film you graded for three days plays back looking like a proxy.
And it makes the client do the work. Folder trees, "download all" that silently zips in the background, permission prompts, sometimes a Google login. Every one of those is a step between your work and the reaction you wanted.
- A gallery, not a directory. Covers, chapters and a layout built for looking at photographs.
- Real streaming. Adaptive 4K playback, not a preview transcode.
- No Google account required. Anyone with the link can watch and download.
- Your identity on the page. Your logo and your colours, and no sign of your personal inbox.
Keep Drive where it is good
Drive is a fine place for masters, contracts and archives, and Momentz does not ask you to move any of it. You can import straight from Drive into a gallery, so the material you already store there becomes the delivery without a download-and-reupload round trip.
On the other end, a client who wants the files in their own Drive hits "Send to my cloud" and authorises once, and the transfer happens cloud to cloud, without a 40 GB download in the middle.
Shared folder vs. client gallery
| What matters | Momentz | Shared cloud folder |
|---|---|---|
| What the client sees | A branded gallery under your name | A folder tree and your account |
| Video playback | Adaptive 4K streaming | A preview transcode |
| Access | A link, nothing to sign into | Permissions, sometimes a login |
| Downloads | One ZIP up to 50 GB, built at the edge | Background zipping, frequent failures |
| Selection | Favorites come back as a list | File names pasted into chat |
| Organisation | Scenes grouped automatically | Whatever you named the folders |
