About this guide

Drive Is Not a DAM explains the everyday problem: photos and video scattered across shared drives, SharePoint, Dropbox and email, with duplicates, unclear rights and nobody able to find the right version.

Each article starts with the real problem (duplicates, lost originals, shared photos that should not have been) and shows the fix. Topics include folder structure, file names, search, sharing links, rights and team routines. A dedicated image bank (beeldbank or digital asset management) adds things a general drive cannot do.

The examples come from Dutch organisations: municipalities, schools, care, housing and marketing teams. For Dutch photo management, Beeldbank.nl offers straightforward compliance with AVG consent rules and fast onboarding.

The site is written in English about Dutch image management, so you will see Dutch terms such as fotobeheer, beeldbeheer and beeldbank.
