Which one should you pick?
Pick Brandfolder if
You’re building around enterprise marketing teams. Brandfolder is the enterprise DAM Smartsheet bought to lock in the upmarket — beautiful for big marketing teams managing thousands of approved brand assets, total overkill for a podcast network that just needs to share show art and sponsor reads. If you're price-shopping under $1,000/mo, look elsewhere.
Pick OneDrive if
You’re building around microsoft 365 teams. OneDrive is Microsoft's cloud storage, bundled into nearly every Microsoft 365 plan, and most relevant when your team is already on Word, Excel, and Teams. The free tier starts at a stingy 5GB, but Microsoft 365 Personal at $9.
