For photographers & videographers

Deliver your work.
Get paid first.

Upload photos and video, share watermarked previews, collect payment via Stripe - files released automatically.

How It Works

Simple for you. Seamless for your clients.

01

Upload your files

Drag and drop photos and video into DAT Drives. Organize by event, client, or date. Files of any size - from JPEG galleries to 4K wedding films - stored securely in the cloud.

02

Share a payment link

Your client receives a gallery link with watermarked photo previews and low-resolution video streams. They can browse everything - but download nothing until the invoice is paid.

03

Payment unlocks delivery

Once your client pays via Stripe, full-resolution photos and full-quality video files are released instantly. No follow-ups. No manual transfers. No unpaid invoices.

Straightforward pricing. No commissions. No surprises.

We don't take a percentage of your sales. What you earn is yours - minus only the standard Stripe processing fee.

Your questions, answered.

Everything you need to know before getting started.

Most client gallery platforms weren't built to handle video files at professional scale. DAT Drives stores your video at full quality, delivers a low-resolution preview to clients before payment, and releases the original file automatically after payment - without compression, without expiration, and without requiring a separate delivery link alongside your photo gallery.

Yes. Files are stored with encryption and are only accessible to clients who have paid. We do not share, use, or process your content in any way.

Yes. You set the price. DAT Drives collects it from your client via Stripe and releases the files once payment is confirmed.

Nothing is released. Photos and video remain locked behind the paywall until payment is completed. You stay in control.

Yes. The Free Trial includes 10 GB of storage and full access to all delivery and payment features. No credit card required.

The Professional plan includes 2 TB of storage - enough for multiple full-scale events including video. A wedding with high-resolution photos and an edited film typically uses 50–150GB. Need more? Contact us for a custom plan.

DAT Drives supports standard photo formats (JPEG, PNG, TIFF, RAW) and video formats (MP4, MOV, and other common formats). If you have specific format requirements - including large raw video files - contact us.

No. DAT Drives charges a flat monthly fee for storage. We don't take a percentage of what you invoice your clients. Standard Stripe processing fees apply.

You upload your photos and video files and share a gallery link with your client. They see watermarked photo previews and low-resolution video streams until the invoice is paid. Once payment clears through Stripe, full-resolution photos and full-quality video files are unlocked automatically.
