Stop Drowning in Google Drive Links (and actually make content)

Posted on November 23, 2025 by dreyster

Let’s be real for a second. If you run a content agency, your "process" is probably a mess.

You have a spreadsheet somewhere tracking shoot dates. You have a Google Drive folder that you swear you shared with the editor, but they’re texting you asking for access. You have three different email threads with a client who just wants to know if the reel is done yet. And then there's the shooter who just WeTransferred you 40GB of footage that expired two hours ago.

It is exhausting. It is inefficient. And frankly, it is boring work that stops you from doing the cool creative stuff you actually started this business to do.

This is why we built EditSync. Because we hated all of that too.

The "Admin" Stuff That Kills Your Soul

The biggest bottleneck in scaling an agency isn't finding clients. It is the sheer weight of the admin work required to service them. Every new client adds exponential complexity. More folders. More permission settings. More "hey did you see this?" texts.

EditSync basically takes a sledgehammer to that bottleneck.

Here is how it actually looks when you put it in your workflow:

  1. You create a project. You type in the client name and the project name.

  2. That's it.

Seriously. Behind the scenes, EditSync just woke up. It went into your Dropbox or Frame.io, created the client folder, created the project sub-folder, and generated a specific upload link for your shooter.

You didn't have to click "New Folder" once.

The Team Workflow (That Actually Works)

So now you have a project. You assign a Shooter and an Editor in the dashboard.

Your shooter gets a text. "Hey, you have a new shoot. Here is the link to upload the footage." They shoot, they click the link, they upload. Done. No navigating complex folder trees. No "where do I put this?".

Your editor gets a notification. They see the footage is there. They start cutting.

And because we built real-time chat right into the project view, you aren't digging through WhatsApp or Slack to find that one specific note about the font color. It is right there next to the project.

The Client Approval Nightmare

You know the dance. You export the video. You upload it to Frame.io or Drive. You copy the link. You write an email. You wait. The client replies "Can we change the music?" in a new thread. You lose track of which version is v3_FINAL_REAL_FINAL.mp4.

With EditSync, you just change the status to "Sent for Client Approval."

Your client gets a notification. They log in to their own portal (yeah, you look professional now). They watch the video. They click "Approve" or "Request Edits."

If they approve it, you get a notification. If they want edits, your editor gets a notification. The loop closes itself without you having to be the middleman forwarding emails at 11 PM.

Oh, and We Added Spy Tools

Because we are chaotic good, we decided project management wasn't enough. We figured you probably want to know what is working for other people too.

So there is a Competitor Analysis tab. You plug in an Instagram, TikTok, or YouTube account, and we scrape the data. We show you their engagement rates, their top posts, what hashtags they are using.

You can track your client's competitors. You can track your competitors. You can see exactly what content is hitting right now so you aren't guessing during your strategy calls.

Basically...

You can keep doing it the manual way. You can keep creating folders and checking permissions and searching your email trash for lost assets.

Or you can just use EditSync and let the software be the boring admin person you don't want to hire.

Get your workflow out of the group chat and into a system that actually scales.
