Google Drive vs Dropbox vs AWS S3
Choosing the right storage isn’t about “which is cheaper” — it’s about which service can safely receive tens of thousands of automated screenshots without slowing you down.
We store your screenshots. They go straight from our GPU renderer to your cloud storage. The only real question is: which provider should you plug in?
Quick comparison
Google Drive
Most familiarEasiest sharing and comments. Great when you send screenshots to clients or non-technical teammates.

- • Simple folder structure
- • Works well with Google Workspace
Dropbox
Organized archivesPowerful folder automation and Paper docs. Best for clean, long-term archives.
- • Good desktop sync
- • Naming & folder rules via automations
- • Easy team handoff
AWS S3
Scales hardestRaw object storage with lifecycle rules. Built for 10,000+ captures per month.
- • Cheap at large volumes
- • Versioning & lifecycle policies
- • Ideal for APIs & data pipelines
All three are natively supported — connect once, then forget about it. We push screenshots directly to your bucket, folder, or team space with proper file naming and subfolders.
When to choose Google Drive
Choose Google Drive if your workflow is review-heavy and collaborative. Marketing teams, agencies, and product managers love Drive because they can:
- Drop links into docs, tasks, and issues instantly
- Let stakeholders comment directly on screenshots
- Share read-only links with clients in seconds
When to choose Dropbox
Dropbox shines when you care about tidy, long-lived folders. If your screenshots are compliance records, QA archives, or design snapshots, Dropbox’s folder automation and desktop sync make life easier.
When to choose AWS S3
If you’re piping screenshots into internal tools, data lakes, or long-term cold storage, S3 is usually the right answer. It scales indefinitely, plays well with other AWS services, and lets you tune cost with storage classes and lifecycle rules.
TL;DR
Use Google Drive for easy sharing, Dropbox for clean archives, and AWS S3 when you're dealing with serious volume and infrastructure.
