Frequently asked questions

Is it really free?

Yes. Up to 20 active galleries with unlimited photos and password protection, free forever — no credit card. We can do this because we never store your photos, so there's no storage cost to pass on. Pro ($3/month) adds unlimited galleries and removes the small "Powered by Gallumé" badge.

Are my photos uploaded or stored anywhere?

No. Your photos stay in your Google Drive. When a client opens your gallery, the images load directly from Google's servers — they never pass through ours. We only store gallery settings (title, a link to your Drive folder, and any password you set).

Do you access my Google account?

No. We never ask you to sign in with Google and have no access to your account or any private files. The only setting needed is sharing your folder as “Anyone with the link can view” — we never need edit access.

What happens if I move or delete my Drive folder?

The gallery is a live window into your folder, so if you delete the folder or change its sharing to private, the gallery will stop showing photos. Keep the folder shared and in place for as long as you want the gallery to work.

Does the gallery update when I add photos?

Yes. Add or remove photos in your Drive folder and the gallery reflects the change automatically within about a minute — no re-publishing.

Do my clients need an account?

No. Clients just open the link (and enter a password if you set one). No signup, no app to install.

Can my clients download the photos?

Yes. Clients can download individual photos or use download-all to grab the whole gallery at full resolution.
