Names under every photo
Catalogue galleries show each item's name beneath its photo, taken from the filename or a caption you set, so the grid reads as products rather than pictures.
The short answer
Point a gallery at the Drive folder that already holds your product photos. Subfolders become categories, filenames become the product names shown under each photo, and the catalogue updates whenever the folder does, so there is no export step and no stale PDF. Password-protect a second gallery over the same folder for trade buyers.
What makes this delivery hard today
- The PDF catalogue is out of date the day after it is exported, and version four is in six inboxes.
- A raw Drive folder link shows customers a file manager: no branding, no order, no way to browse on a phone.
- Website builders can host a catalogue, but now product photos live in two places and neither is authoritative.
- Wholesale buyers and consumers need different views of the same products, which usually means two documents drifting apart.
The GalleryLink workflow
- 1
Keep organising the folder you already have
One subfolder per category: chairs, tables, lighting. Name each file the way the product should be labelled, because that name appears under the photo. Your existing folder discipline is the whole setup.
- 2
Create a catalogue gallery from it
Paste the folder link, choose the catalogue preset, pick a theme in your brand colours. Categories appear as sections with a jump bar, products in a clean grid with names visible.
- 3
Share one link everywhere
The same address goes in your Instagram bio, your WhatsApp replies and your email signature. When someone asks what you sell, the answer is one link that opens instantly on a phone, no app and no account.
- 4
Update by updating the folder
New product photographed, dropped in the folder, live in the catalogue. Sold out, removed from the folder, gone. There is no publish step to forget.
- 5
Run a trade view beside the consumer one
A second gallery over the same folder with a password becomes the stockist view. One set of photos, two audiences, nothing drifting apart.
Why it fits product catalogues
Ask about this item
A buyer can send an inquiry from any photo, with the item name attached automatically. It lands in your dashboard and your inbox, with no per-lead fees.
A shortlist instead of favorites
Visitors mark the pieces they are interested in and send you the list. What comes back is exact product names, not descriptions of a photo halfway down the page.
Your brand, your domain
Logo, accent colour and theme are yours, and the catalogue can live on your own domain. Nothing about the page says it started life as a Drive folder.
What it costs
The free plan publishes one live gallery — enough to try this on a real job. Pro is $5/mo or $50/yr for unlimited galleries, password protection, every theme and layout, and your own studio subdomain. Your photos stay in your Google Drive either way, so nothing here is priced by storage.

Can I use this without Google Drive?+
Yes. Upload product photos directly instead, and everything works the same way. Drive is the convenient path if the folder already exists, not a requirement.
Can I show prices?+
Put the price in the item's caption or name if you want it visible. GalleryLink is deliberately not a checkout: buyers inquire or shortlist, and the sale happens wherever it happens today.
How do wholesale buyers see a different catalogue?+
Make a second gallery over the same folder and password-protect it. Trade buyers get the password; the public link stays open.
Does it work on phones?+
That is most of the point. The catalogue is a fast page with resized previews, not a PDF someone has to pinch-zoom through.
