Why it's listed
A disciplined folder beats a SaaS DAM for teams under 20 people.
README-driven directories for `/logo`, `/fonts`, `/templates` with version suffix conventions. Sync via Syncthing or shared drive instead of paying for Brandfolder monthly.
The catch
Requires enforcement—people still email random `logo-final-v3.png` files.
Good fit for
- Small agencies
- Franchisees
- Church comms teams
Not ideal for
- Global enterprises with rights-managed asset libraries
