Google Drive folder vs Reverie
A shared Drive folder is the do-it-yourself option: flexible and entirely yours. Uploads from signed-in guests count against their own storage.
| Feature | Reverie | Google Drive folder |
|---|---|---|
| No app for guests | Yes | Partly Help describes phone uploads in the Drive app |
| Video uploads | Yes | Yes |
| Google Drive export | Yes | Yes It is Google Drive, so there is nothing to export |
| Price model | One-time payment of €39 per event; free trial with 20 uploads. | Free with 15 GB per Google Account, shared with Photos and Gmail; more storage is a paid add-on. |
| Storage period | Gallery stays online 12 months after the last upload. | Uploads take up the uploader’s own Drive storage, even in someone else’s folder. |
