FestiCam Team
<p>Compare storage providers and choose the best option for your photography business.</p>
<p>FestiCam supports multiple storage backends so you can choose what works best for your budget and needs. AWS S3: The industry standard. Reliable, scalable, and cost-effective for most studios. Pay only for what you use. Google Cloud Storage: Great if you are already in the Google ecosystem. Similar pricing to S3 with excellent integration. Local Storage: Store files on your own server. Best for studios with strict data residency requirements or existing infrastructure. You can migrate between providers at any time without affecting your galleries. FestiCam handles the transfer in the background. For most photographers, we recommend starting with S3 and its generous free tier.</p>
