Camera6 and the Google Drive app
Your photos already end up in Google Drive. Camera6 removes the steps in between.
The Drive app is fine for one person. For a crew, it means sharing the company login, uploading by hand, and somebody sorting the folder on Friday.
What it takes today
- Every worker installs Drive and signs in to the company account, or the folder is shared to their personal Google account.
- They take the photo with the phone camera, open Drive, find the job folder, pick the photos, upload, and wait with the app open.
- The photos also stay in their personal gallery, next to their holiday pictures.
- When someone leaves, you change the password or hunt down the shares.
With Camera6
- The admin connects Google Drive once. Workers sign in to Camera6, never to Google.
- The worker types the job number and shoots. Photos go to that job's folder by themselves.
- Every photo is stamped with date, time, place and who took it.
- Nothing stays on the phone, and removing someone is one click.

Questions
Do my workers need a Google account?No. The admin connects the company Google Drive once. Workers sign in to Camera6 with an email address.
Can Camera6 see the rest of our Drive?No. Camera6 uses Google's drive.file permission, so it only sees folders it created or that you picked in Camera6.
Does it work with shared drives?Yes. Pick a folder in a shared drive as the destination and photos go there.
