Selkro vs a Google Drive link
Many studios share proofs as a Drive folder link. It’s free and familiar, and it works. This page shows where it gets slow for selection.
| Topic | Drive link | Selkro |
|---|---|---|
| How the client picks | Sends file names over WhatsApp or comments | Taps a star, submits once |
| What the photographer gets back | A list typed or copied by hand | A selection list, photos copied to one folder by file name |
| Access | Anyone with the link | Link plus a 4-digit PIN on every gallery |
| Branding | Google's interface | Your logo and name, on your own studio link |
| Deadline and limit | None | Selection deadline and optional limit |
| Similar shots | No | Grouped into stacks |
| Closed-eye shots | No | Flagged for the photographer |
| Cost | Free within storage | From ₹150 per gallery or a monthly plan |
Where Drive is still the right tool
Delivering finished photos. Selkro delivers through your own Google Drive: you upload the final photos from Selkro, and your client opens one Drive folder link.
Where Selkro saves time
The selection itself. Your client stars photos and submits once. You get one list and copy the picks into a folder by file name, without typing numbers from WhatsApp.
