Google Drive Integration for CampaignSwift

Yes, CampaignSwift integrates with Google Drive. The Google Drive integration lets you browse and import files straight into posts and your media library, with no download-and-reupload step in between. It connects through Google's OAuth sign-in using the limited drive.file permission, supports multiple Drive accounts, and reports its health on the integrations dashboard. Here is exactly what it does, how to set it up, and the limits to know about.

What the Google Drive Integration Does

Most agency assets start life in Google Drive: client photo dumps, designer exports, brand folders shared by the marketing lead on the client side. The integration removes the shuffle between Drive and your social tool. Inside the post composer, Google Drive appears as a file source: open it, find the file, select it, and it's attached to the post you're building.

It also works at the library level. CampaignSwift's media library connects to Google Drive alongside AWS S3 and Dropbox, so Drive can act as a storage source rather than a place you copy things out of. Files you import land in the folder-organized library where search, filtering, and batch operations apply.

The connection is deliberately narrow. CampaignSwift requests Google's drive.file scope, the limited permission that grants access only to files you pick through the picker. The platform never sees the rest of your Drive, and you can disconnect an account at any time from your integrations list.

How to Connect Google Drive to CampaignSwift

1. 1

   Open the media section

   In the post composer, open the media section and choose Google Drive as your file source. You can also reach your connected accounts from Settings → Integrations.

2. 2

   Click Connect to Google Drive

   A Google sign-in window opens. Sign in with the Google account that holds your files. Your password stays with Google and is never stored in CampaignSwift.

3. 3

   Approve the limited permission

   CampaignSwift requests Google's limited drive.file permission. That means it can only work with files you select through the picker, not your entire Drive.

4. 4

   Browse or search your files

   The picker lists your files sorted by last modified, with name, type, size, and date shown for each. Type a file name to narrow the list.

5. 5

   Select a file to import

   Pick the file you want. CampaignSwift pulls it in and attaches it to your post or stores it in your media library, with no download-and-reupload cycle.

Storage Limits and Good-to-Knows

Imported files count toward your plan's storage: 2 GB on Starter, 10 GB on Professional, 50 GB on Agency, and 200 GB on Scale. The media library tracks per-agency and per-client quotas, so you can see which client's assets are consuming space before an upload fails. If a Drive connection ever needs attention (a revoked permission, an expired authorization), the integration dashboard flags it rather than letting scheduled posts fail quietly.

One workflow note from agencies that use this daily: keep a per-client folder convention in Drive that mirrors your media library folders. The picker's name search and last-modified sorting do the heavy lifting, but matching structures on both sides makes handoffs between designers and schedulers nearly frictionless.
