With the Google Drive integration, you can allow us to automatically import photos into property sites from Google Drive folders.  This will create a fast and efficient workflow for you that your clients will appreciate!  This will also allow you and your team members to send photos to an editor and have that editor put them in Google Drive for an even quicker photo delivery process.

Step 3: In the Cloud Storage section, you will see the Google Drive integration.



Step 4: Click the "Authorize My Account" button.



Step 5: You will then be prompted to sign in to your Google account.  You can select one of your accounts listed or click "Use another account" to use one that is not listed.



Step 6: Click the "Allow" button to grant access for HDPhotoHub to access your Google drive.



Step 7: You will be redirected back to the App Integration tab where you will now see that your Google Drive is authorized.  You will now want to set up your folder options.



Step 8: In the Preparing Folders section, click the Create Empty Folders drop-down menu.  If you would like us to create folders for you, choose whether you want us to create them for "My Orders" or "All Preparing Sites".  Note: "My Orders" will only create folders for sites with an order attached to them.  "All Preparing Sites" will create folders for all sites whether they have an order or not.  



Step 9: You will now see some additional options.  Click "Pick Folder" to choose where on your Google Drive you would like us to create the empty folders for your property sites.



Step 10: Select the folder you would like us to create the empty folders in and then click the "Select" button.



Step 11: If needed, you can change the Folder Naming Convention for the folders that we create in your Google Drive.



Step 12: In the Automatic File Importing section, click the "Pick Folder" button to choose which folder on your Google Drive that you would like us to monitor for the property photos. When you have put the photos into the corresponding property folder within this Import Folder, we will then import them into the property site.



Step 13: Click the folder that you would like to use and then click the "Select" button.

 


Step 14: After we have imported the photos, you can choose what you would like us to do with the photos on your Google Drive.  We can either "Leave it there" or "Move to a 'Done' sub-folder".  Note: having us move the files to a "Done" sub-folder is a quick and easy way for you to see that the photos have been imported.



Step 15: Now, you can create a test property to ensure that your Google Drive is completely set up!
