Brandbook vs Dropbox, Google Drive & OneDrive
Dropbox, Google Drive and OneDrive are great at storing and sharing files. They don’t know what your brand is. Brandbook stores your brand assets too, but it also holds the rules, so every person and every AI tool can follow them, and every draft gets checked.
Storing, syncing and sharing any file, for anyone in the company. Folders, links and permissions.
Your brand as a living system: logo, colour, type, voice and imagery rules, the assets that go with them, and a check on every draft.
The short version.
A folder can hold your logo. It can’t tell anyone when to use the reversed one, or that you never say “LAST CHANCE”.
Claude, ChatGPT and Cursor read your brand through MCP and our API. Canva and Figma get it through plugins.
Brandbook isn’t trying to hold your spreadsheets. Keep your drive for everything else and move just the brand in.
Side by side.
Where they’re great.
Contracts, spreadsheets, raw footage, the lot. General storage at company scale is what they do best.
Everyone already knows how to open a Dropbox, Drive or OneDrive link. No new account, no training.
Drive lives inside Google Workspace and OneDrive inside Microsoft 365, right next to your docs and email.
Use them together.
Keep your drive for everything else. Import your brand folder and old PDF guidelines into Brandbook once, and from then on the brand lives in one place that every tool reads.

Turns them into rules, checks the assets and keeps the library current.

Questions.
Do I have to move all my files?
No. Only your brand assets: logos, photography, templates, fonts. Everything else stays where it is.
What happens to our PDF guidelines?
Import the PDF and Brandbook turns it into structured rules, like logo clear-space and logo don’ts, that people and AI tools can follow.
Can we still share from Dropbox or Drive?
Of course. Many teams do. Brandbook share links are there when you want always-latest files, expiry or a password.
Your brand deserves more than a folder.
