Dropbox stores files. ImageBank X turns content into a scalable, controlled, and usable asset system. If your organization depends on content to operate and grow, purpose-built DAM is the next step.
Access without limits

Migration from Dropbox is simple
The system imports existing folder structures and enhances them with AI-generated metadata, making assets immediately more searchable and usable without rebuilding workflows. Users adopt quickly due to intuitive UX. Most organizations migrate within a few days.
During migration, ImageBank focuses on moving your existing content as-is while ensuring everything remains accessible and familiar to users. Folder structures are preserved and enhanced with better search capabilities, allowing teams to continue working without disruption. The transition requires minimal changes to existing workflows, so users can quickly pick up where they left off. This approach reduces friction, shortens onboarding time, and ensures a smooth shift from Dropbox to a more structured and scalable way of managing digital assets.
What our customers are saying
“The biggest challenge with the old system was its outdated and clunky user interface and customer support. Now that ImageBank X has been implemented, the user experience is really smooth—ImageBank X has a very clear user interface and functionality. Browser-based management is flexible and effortless. It has also enabled convenient integration with our website for media management, as well as flexible branding and distribution of the DAM to external partners. Customer service is excellent: support requests are answered quickly, problems are solved, and during implementation, cooperation was particularly smooth and easy!”

“Among other factors, domesticity and ease of use, as well as Mediasignal’s activity and service orientation, were factors that influenced the choice of ImageBank X.
