If your team keeps its finished assets in Google Drive or Dropbox, the slowest part of posting is often getting the file out. Download it, find it in your downloads folder, upload it again.
BulkPublish skips that. You can pick files from either service and they land in your media library, ready to attach.
Where to find it
There are two places:
- The Media page. Open the Upload menu and choose Google Drive or Dropbox.
- The composer. When you add media to a post, the same two options sit next to uploading from your computer.
Files imported from the composer are attached to the post you are writing and saved to your library as well, so you can reuse them later.
Importing from Google Drive
- Choose Google Drive.
- Sign in to Google if asked, and allow access.
- Pick one or more files in the Google window that opens.
- Wait for the import to finish. The files appear in your library.
If nothing opens, your browser has probably blocked the pop-up. Allow pop-ups for BulkPublish and try again.
Importing from Dropbox
- Choose Dropbox.
- Sign in to Dropbox if asked.
- Select the files you want and confirm.
That’s it. Dropbox hands over the files you picked and BulkPublish copies them into your library.
What BulkPublish can see
Only the files you pick.
With Google Drive, the access you grant covers the files you choose in the picker and nothing else in your Drive. With Dropbox, the picker shares just the files you select. Neither one lets BulkPublish browse your folders on its own.
What you can import
The same files you can upload from your computer:
| Type | Formats | Largest file |
|---|---|---|
| Images | JPG, PNG, WebP, GIF | 100 MB |
| Video | MP4, MOV, WebM | 1 GB |
A file that is too large or in another format is skipped, and you are told which one and why. The rest of the batch still imports.
Things to know
- It’s a copy. The imported file lives in your BulkPublish library. Changing or deleting the original in Drive or Dropbox afterwards doesn’t touch it.
- It counts toward your storage, exactly like a file uploaded from your computer.
- Every network’s own rules still apply. A video that’s fine to import can still be too long for a particular platform. The composer tells you before you schedule, not after it fails.
When it helps most
- A designer drops finished graphics into a shared Drive folder and you schedule them the same afternoon.
- A video editor delivers through Dropbox and the file goes straight to the post, with no gigabyte sitting in your downloads folder.
- You work across several computers and your assets live in the cloud rather than on any one of them.
Once a file is in your library, it behaves like any other: attach it to as many posts as you like, on as many networks as you like.
