Custom Branding
Filecamp provides (at 1/10 of the cost)

What is Filecamp?
What is Digital Asset Management?
As your organization grows, it becomes harder to keep your digital files under control. Time is wasted handling requests for images, logos, and other files. People may receive the wrong file type for their needs, and a lack of control can lead to branding issues.
Digital Asset Management (DAM) systems let you store digital assets and assign metadata to your library of images, videos, presentations, logos, design files, documents, and other brand assets, making them easier to find.
Online, and from any device.
