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 Wedia if
You’re building around video-heavy dam. Wedia is enterprise DAM for organisations with 250+ global brands using the platform and pricing to match, custom only, with bills based on media distributed rather than file weight. Best if you're a Fortune 1000 marketing org with formal compliance needs; total non-starter for indie podcasters.
