When someone shares a Drive folder of high-res photos, and just to look at them I have to pull all the full heavy files first. Eats data, storage and time.
My team built zipdrive.cloud. Paste a Drive folder link, it compresses every image and hands you back a single zip to download. Public links are free, no signup. For private files you log in with your Google account.
Handy if you just want to view or preview a shoot, need images under a size limit somewhere, or you're on limited data.
