We have an integration with Google Drive, allowing you to import media files directly from your Google Drive folders to either Post Builder or Loomly Content Library!
If you use Canva, Adobe Suite, CapCut, or any other design tools, you can save your files from those platforms to Google Drive, then conveniently upload them to Loomly in batches using our integration.
📝 Note: Google requires account authentication every hour. If you're already logged into your Google account, this should only take a click!
Importing from Google Drive to the Content Library
In Content Library, you can import up to 10 videos or 40 images from Google Drive at once. This is a great way for you to batch content externally, then upload to Loomly prior to scheduling.
To upload to your Library from Google Drive, click the "+" icon, then click Google Drive. Simply login to your Google account, and then you'll be able to select media to import from your Google Drive folders.
📝 Note: Content Library imports from Google Drive are limited to 40 images and 10 videos at a time
Importing from Google Drive to Post Builder
From Post Builder, you can import 1 video or up to 10 images at a time from Google Drive. To upload your media, click the Google Drive icon in either the Define Generic Content or Fine-Tuning sections:
Then, select photo or video, select your Google account, then choose your media to upload:
In the fine-tuning panels, you can select each social media channel in turn and then attach the associated creative assets from Google Drive. This is an ideal workflow when you need different aspect ratios if you're cross-posting to different platforms.
Plus, you can quickly crop images to fit channel specifications using Loomly Studio.
📝 Note: Post Builder uploads from Google Drive are limited to 10 images and 1 video at a time
