Which one should you pick?
Pick Google Drive if
You’re building around cross-platform teams. Google Drive is the cheapest serious cloud drive on the market, and it's where most podcast teams end up because everyone already has a Gmail. The 30GB Business Starter tier is too tight for video podcasts, and pooled storage means heavy users punish their teammates — but the price-per-GB still beats nearly everyone.
Pick Jumpshare if
You’re building around screen recording plus sharing. Jumpshare bundles screenshot capture, screen recording, and file sharing into one app, with a generous free tier (60-second recordings, 50 uploads) and Plus at $12/user/month for unlimited recording and AI features. Best for solo creators and small teams capturing podcast workflows; not a Loom replacement at enterprise scale.
