About PicSpot

PicSpot is aimed at photographers who deliver work through Google Drive. You upload images to your own Drive, create a gallery from selected images with a title, and share a PicSpot link instead of a raw Drive folder link. The gallery has an image-focused layout, your name and link in the header, and optimized loading, and your files stay in your own Drive account.

Viewers can open, like and download photos. Galleries can be protected with a password, shown on your own domain, and tracked with simple analytics on gallery opens. The site contrasts this with plain Drive folders, which show Google branding, can be opened by anyone with the link and have no gallery view or insights.

The service is free to start, with paid plans on the pricing page, and offers guides on sending photos to clients, turning a Drive folder into a gallery and password-protecting Drive photos, written with photographers in mind.
