Any business owner knows branding and logos can make a major difference, so why are you still using Google Drive to share assets and files with your clients? Ditch Google Drive for Cloudbrand, a white-label cloud storage platform that lets you customize your cloud with company branding and logos for the ultimate client experience. Grab lifetime access while it’s available for $89.99 (reg. $588) for a little while longer. With this plan, you’ll get 250GB of white-label space and the ability to create up to 25 custom portals. Are you building a custom site for a client? Set up a specific client cloud portal for them, and customize it with your domain, email, logo, and colors so they’ll see them each time they open up the link to review your designs. Another bonus of Cloudbrand? Your clients don’t need to create an account to download their files. They can access it independently, and the platform lets you invite clients to join your specific branded cloud storage portal. Personalize your cloud with Cloudbrand’s white-label storage, now $89.99 for life while supplies last.
