Embbedable Pinterest like grid view for shared link viewing

When brainstorming ideas and collecting references for a project, I find myself downloading images from the web, making screen shots from various social media platforms, taking pictures in books and storing all those files in a dropbox folder that I share with my team.

Pinterest is a great tool but you can't have private and shared collections and you can't reference the pins you saved to use them in indesign or word. 

Dropbox could be the best tool to share moodboard collections that are both visible online and usable as files for other apps.
It would be great to have a view only link of a beautiful grid that I can share in slack or paste in notion. If I collaborate with others, people could add their ideas to the folder and this would be reflected in all shared docs that have the view embedded.
Wouldn't that be cool ?

    hey sorry I had not seen your responses !
    Megan I'm not sure I understand your question. I guess the main point to me is to visualise images as a grid and to be able to share and access easily that grid. Images should be big enough to avoid the need to open them to understand them. this would allow a simple folder containing images to also act as a moodboard. this mood board could then be embedded in other apps (notion, slack etc.) while retaining the ability for the individual files to be used by local software (adobe, cad etc.)
    Does it make sense ? I'm happy to explain further if needed !

    Hey tanguyap, how are you today? 

     

    In regards to what you mentioned about the grid, and the way content is presented: do you focus more on the way content is presented, or do you have any seconds thoughts about the base functionality of the files? 

     

    That'll give us a precise, and clear idea of your vision moving forward. 

     

    Let me know more!
