​With our new Google Drive integration you can automatically sync your files and versions between Google Drive and Filestage. This feature will help you, as a Google Drive user, save even more time in your review process by automating file and version uploads.

To be able to use this functionality, the first step is to connect your Filestage account to your Google Drive by following these steps:

To automatically sync new files and versions from Google Drive to your Filestage project, choose both the project and the folder you would like to synchronize.
To do so, follow these steps:

Any time you add a new file to your Google Drive folder, it will automatically load either as a new file or as a new version in your project.

If the file you upload to Google Drive has a unique name, it will be added to your project as a new file.

For example: "Interior design.png" is not the same as "Interior design_alternative.png".

The file must have the same file name as the prior version. Filestage then recognizes Google Drive's naming convention, automatically adding a (2) behind the original name.
Example:

Once you finish your review and achieve approval from your reviewers, you can use the Google Drive integration to automatically upload the approved file back into your Google Drive.

If you tick the corresponding box in the process of selecting the Google Drive Folder, the upload of the approved file will be automatically done! 🎉
​

You then can find the approved files in an automatically created subfolder called Approved Files, followed by the name of your project:
