Google Drive Integration

Connect a Google Drive or scoped folder to Bid Library either as a one-time file import or as a live, read-only synced library.

Overview

Connect your Google Drive content to Bid Library without manual re-uploads. Import files once for a quick snapshot, or set up a synced library to keep content automatically up to date - synced content stays view-only in Bid Library, with Google Drive remaining the source of truth.

Different Modes of Google Drive Integration

Mode

Description

1

Google Drive Sync (Entire Drive)

Syncs an entire Drive (My Drive or a shared drive) into Bid Library. Content stays automatically up to date as changes are made in Drive. View-only in Bid Library — edit source files in Google Drive.

2

Google Drive Scoped Folder Sync

Syncs a single Drive folder into Bid Library, rather than the whole drive. Same automatic sync behaviour as full Drive sync, just narrowed to the folder you choose. View-only in Bid Library.

3

Google Drive Static Import

Imports selected files or folders from Drive into Bid Library as a one-time snapshot. Fully editable once imported, but won't reflect later changes made in Drive — re-import manually if you need updates. Selecting a folder imports its contents recursively.

  • You must be a BidScript administrator.

  • Go to Settings > Integrations.
