Google Drive stores and shares your files — but a shared folder is nothing like a photo studio: no branded selling gallery, no store, no quotes, no booking, no website. Pelli brings together your galleries, your CRM, your quotes and invoices, your booking, your website and your marketing in a single French platform. Everything is manageable from your phone with no app to install, billed in your currency and hosted in France — whereas Google remains a U.S. company subject to the CLOUD Act. Google Drive files your photos away; Pelli runs your business.
Discover why Pelli is the best choice for your photography business
With Google Drive, you pay for storage space — and you still have no gallery, no store, no invoicing, no website. To rebuild the equivalent of Pelli around Drive, you have to stack 7 to 8 third-party tools that don't talk to each other, for roughly €100 to €200/month. Pelli brings your entire business together for €15/month, and lets you keep 100% of your sales.
Google Drive files your photos away, knowing nothing about the photography business. If you want a real branded gallery, to sell your prints, invoice, take bookings and showcase your work on a website — all from your phone and hosted in France — Pelli brings your entire business together in a single platform, where Drive is just a shared folder.
