Why choose Air over Google Drive

Purpose built for Creative Operations

Visual Organization Built for Creatives

Air replaces traditional folders with visual boards and AI-powered tagging that make it easy to see, find, and organize creative assets. Unlike Drive, which relies on filenames and folders, Air helps teams move faster with smart structure.

Speed from Day One

Workflow Tools That Save Hours

Built-in approvals, version stacking, and dynamic comments make Air a true creative ops platform. You won’t find visual markups, Kanban boards, or review flows in Google Drive.

Seamless Creative Flow

Collaboration Without Chaos

From upload-only links to branded client portals, Air gives you fine-tuned control over permissions and sharing. Forget endless "Request access" emails — Air is made for internal and external creative collaboration.
