For teams running campaigns from shared folders
Sales may ask for product images every week, and an agency may end up using last season’s brochure. Freedam gives your team one visual library where people can find the current version themselves.
Do you need a DAM yet?
If finding, checking and sending files takes up a good part of someone’s week, a DAM will probably help. If it does not, shared folders may be all you need.
Situations we often hear about
Marketing gets the same file requests most weeks. Several versions are in circulation and it is hard to tell which is current. Agencies, sales or dealers often need new material. Rights, consent and expiry dates are hard to keep next to the file.
Situations where less may be enough
One person can find everything quickly and requests are rare. Files rarely change and are mostly used by the people who made them. There is little rights, approval or external sharing to keep track of. No one has time to tag files and manage access once it is set up.
How to start
Pick the product line or campaign people ask about most, put it in Freedam and ask a few colleagues to try it. You can add more from there.
Choose the product line or campaign people ask for most, so the trial looks like a normal week.
Tag files by product, campaign, market and rights. The rest can wait.
Drag and drop them, or connect the Google Drive, WebDAV or S3 storage you already use.
Give sales, an agency or a dealer a collection or portal and see whether the requests slow down.

Questions buyers ask
It can be, when a small marketing team supplies files to many people, channels or markets. How widely files are shared, how many versions are around and which rights you need to track usually matter more than headcount.
Shared folders may still be enough when one person can find everything, files rarely change, you seldom send files outside the company and there are few rights or approval requirements.
No. You can start with one current campaign, product line or set of approved files. Upload directly or connect a source, then add structure as you learn what people look for, without planning a full taxonomy up front.
The pricing page lists current plans, storage limits, administrator allowances and included features. It usually helps to choose based on how your team works and who needs access.
