Filolio

A free ShootProof alternative — with no photo-count limits

If you searched for a free ShootProof alternative, you probably ran into its plan tiers: how much you pay depends on how many photos you store. That's because the platform hosts your images, and storage is the cost. Filolio takes a different path — it leaves your photos in the Google Drive or Dropbox folder you already use and just wraps it in a polished, client-ready gallery. No re-uploading, no photo budget, no plan to outgrow.

Why photo-count plans exist

A single wedding gallery can run 500–800 photos; a busy season is tens of thousands. Platforms that store your images meter that, so you end up choosing a plan around your shooting volume. Filolio stores zero photo bytes — images load directly from your cloud provider's servers when a client opens the gallery — so “unlimited photos, free” isn't a promotion, it's just how the architecture works.

Competitor plans and limits change over time — check their current pricing before deciding. The durable difference is structural: they price by storage, Filolio stores nothing.

When ShootProof is still the better choice

If you sell prints, run proofing-and-ordering workflows, or want contracts and invoicing in one place, a full platform like ShootProof does far more than Filolio. Filolio is deliberately narrow: it makes the Google Drive or Dropbox link you already send look like the professional work you delivered. If that's the job, you don't need to pay for storage you don't use.
