Prodify & Google Drive: The Best of Both Worlds for Building Product Manufacturers
If you’re using Google Drive to manage product files, you’re not alone. It's a great general-purpose tool: easy to use, convenient for syncing across devices, and perfect for real-time collaboration within your team. But when it comes to managing digital assets for building product manufacturers, Google Drive wasn't built with your specific needs in mind.
In this blog, we’ll explore why adding Prodify to your tech stack alongside Google Drive can take your file management to a whole new level.
Where Google Drive Shines
Centralized File Access & Automatic Syncing: Files stored on Google Drive’s centralized platform are accessible from any device and automatically synced, ensuring users always have the most up-to-date version.
Real-Time Collaboration: Google Drive facilitates easy and efficient collaboration between multiple users by allowing them to work on the same files in real-time, with changes instantly visible to everyone.
Strong Security & Permissions: Google Drive lets you control access to your documents and folders by setting detailed permissions. This ensures that sensitive content is protected from unauthorized changes while allowing secure collaboration among your teams.
These are solid baseline features, but they’re built for general use across all industries—not specifically for building product manufacturers. So, Google Drive begins to fall short when it comes to managing the complexity of thousands of product assets like BIM and CAD files, spec sheets, certifications, and so much more.
