How to Turn a Google Drive Folder Into a Photo Gallery
Google Drive is a reliable place to store photos, but it does not turn a shoot into a client-ready gallery on its own. PicSpot adds the presentation layer while your files stay in Drive.
Start with an organized Drive folder
Put the final deliverables in one folder or select the exact files you want to share. Remove duplicates, exports you do not want clients to see, and unfinished edits before creating the gallery.
Create the gallery from selected files
With PicSpot, you connect Google Drive, pick the images or videos, and generate a gallery from those files. You do not need to upload the same shoot to a separate gallery host.
Choose presentation settings
Set the gallery title, cover image, layout, style, and privacy options. For paid client work, use settings that match the job: downloads for final delivery, likes for proofing, password protection for private shoots, and expiration for short-term access.
Share the branded link
Send the client a gallery URL instead of a folder URL. Free galleries can use PicSpot-hosted links; Pro galleries can use a custom domain for stronger brand recognition.
Keep Drive as your source of truth
Because the gallery is built from your Drive files, your storage workflow stays familiar. If you unlink a Drive account or remove files, galleries that depend on those files will stop working, so keep final delivery folders stable.
