If you are looking for a better way to organize and share your assets, such as digital images, videos, and PDF documents, you’re in luck! Cloudinary actively enhanced a feature - Collections - throughout 2020 that lets you group these files together and share them internally with other Digital Asset Management (DAM) users. Additionally, you can share the Collections externally with stakeholders, such as agencies or the media. Liat Perlmutter - Senior Product Manager at Cloudinary - demonstrates the tool and all of its capabilities in this episode of MX Matters.
