It is built for marketing teams, editors and agencies who keep their finished work in Drive and publish it everywhere else. [**Get Started for Free**](https://www.postpone.app/signup) ## **Social Posts from Google Drive** ### Post the Cut in the Team Folder Without Downloading It The cut your editor exported to the team folder can be in a scheduled post straight from Google Drive, with nothing downloaded to your machine. Pick one file or several, video or image, and each posts in the form the platform takes it. The folder and who it is shared with stay as they were. ## **Google Drive Content Library** ### Know What Has Gone Out, Which a Folder Cannot Tell You Every file you import lands in Postpone's [**Content Library**](https://www.postpone.app/features/content-library), whichever Google Drive folder it started in, labelled however you like. A shared folder tells you what exists; the library tells you what has been posted, where and when, and filters to what has never gone out, so the same hero image never goes up twice. ## **Watermark Google Drive Media** ### Keep One Clean Master in Drive and Brand the Copy That Posts Save your logo, handle or website as a watermark preset once and every image you import from Google Drive carries it, while the source file stays unbranded: one clean master in the folder rather than a copy per platform. Crop, rotate or filter in Postpone's own editor, and nothing needs a second app. ## Everything Postpone Does With a File From Google Drive Six things a file can do once it is in Postpone, none of which need a download. - ### Import Without Downloading Browse your Drive from inside the upload dialog and pull a file straight into a post or the Content Library. It never passes through your downloads folder, and Drive itself is untouched. - ### Video as Well as Images An MP4, MOV, WebM or MKV in Drive posts anywhere the platform takes video. Give it a cover image for Instagram, Facebook, TikTok, Pinterest and LinkedIn. - ### Several Files in One Go Pick every file the week needs in a single visit to the dialog and they upload together, so a folder of finished assets becomes a library of scheduled posts in one sitting. - ### A Watermark on Every Import Your default preset, a logo or up to 500 characters of text in one of six fonts, lands on each imported image at the size, opacity and corner you set. Applied as the file arrives, if you choose. - ### Scheduled or Queued, Not Posted by Hand A file attached to a post goes out at the time you pick, or at the next slot in a custom schedule, on every platform you chose. Auto-repost can run it again later. - ### See How Each Asset Performs Every post shows up in analytics like any other, so you can compare the cuts and stills your team produced by views, likes and impressions and see which ones earn a second run. ## Twelve Platforms From One Drive Folder A file from Google Drive can be scheduled to every platform Postpone publishes to. - [**Instagram**Posts, carousels and Stories](https://www.postpone.app/platforms/instagram-post-scheduler) - [**Pinterest**Pins](https://www.postpone.app/platforms/pinterest-scheduler) - [**X**Posts and threads](https://www.postpone.app/platforms/twitter-post-scheduler) - [**Threads**Posts and threads](https://www.postpone.app/platforms/threads-scheduler) - [**Facebook**Pages](https://www.postpone.app/platforms/facebook-post-scheduler) - [**LinkedIn**Profiles and Pages](https://www.postpone.app/platforms/linkedin-scheduler) - [**TikTok**Photo posts and video](https://www.postpone.app/platforms/tiktok-post-scheduler) - [**YouTube**Shorts](https://www.postpone.app/platforms/youtube-shorts-scheduler) - [**Reddit**Image and gallery posts](https://www.postpone.app/platforms/reddit-post-scheduler) - [**Bluesky**Posts and threads](https://www.postpone.app/platforms/bluesky-post-scheduler) - [**Mastodon**Posts and threads](https://www.postpone.app/platforms/mastodon-post-scheduler) - [**Tumblr**Photo posts](https://www.postpone.app/platforms/tumblr-post-scheduler) Every one of them from the same [**calendar**](https://www.postpone.app/features/social-media-scheduler), with the platform's own options in each composer. ## Connect Google Drive to Postpone in Three Steps Connect Google Drive once and your files are ready to schedule. 1. 1 ### Connect your accounts Add the social accounts you publish to, then sign in to Google Drive the first time you import. There is nothing else to set up. 2. 2 ### Import a file into a post Bring an image or video out of Drive and into Postpone without downloading it first. Postpone reads your files and changes nothing in Drive. 3. 3 ### Schedule it and keep it Attach the file to a post, choose the platforms and set the time. It stays in your Content Library, watermarked if you set a default.

Still have questions? Check out our help center for answers to most of your questions, or reach out to our support team. [**Visit the Help Center **](https://help.postpone.app/) [**Contact us **](https://www.postpone.app/contact) ### **How do I use Google Drive media in a Postpone post?** You browse Drive from inside Postpone and pull a file straight into the Content Library or the post you are composing, without downloading it first. Open the upload dialog, choose the Google Drive tab and sign in. The same dialog carries tabs for Google Photos, Dropbox, OneDrive, Box and Flickr, and Canva has an import button of its own. [**The Content Library **](https://www.postpone.app/features/content-library) ### **Does the file stay in Google Drive or move into Postpone?** The file stays in Drive and a copy lands in your Postpone Content Library, so the version Postpone publishes is fixed at the moment you import it. Editing the Drive original later does not silently change a post that is already scheduled, which is usually what you want when several people share a folder. [**The Content Library **](https://www.postpone.app/features/content-library) ### **Is a Drive import watermarked automatically?** Yes, Postpone applies your default watermark preset to a Drive import exactly as it does to a direct upload, so a shared team folder does not have to hold pre-branded copies of everything. Watermarks apply to images; videos and GIFs are left as they are. [**The Content Library **](https://www.postpone.app/features/content-library) ### **Can I post a video from Google Drive?** Yes, Postpone imports video from Drive the same way it imports an image and posts it anywhere the platform takes video. MP4 is preferred, and MOV, WebM and MKV work too. Images can be JPEG, PNG, HEIC or WebP up to 20 MB. [**The YouTube Shorts scheduler **](https://www.postpone.app/platforms/youtube-shorts-scheduler) ### **Does Postpone import new files added to a Drive folder automatically?** No, Postpone imports the files you pick and nothing else. There is no folder watching and no sync, so what ends up in your Content Library is exactly what you chose to put there. [**The Content Library **](https://www.postpone.app/features/content-library) ### **Can I disconnect Google Drive later?** Yes, revoke the access from your Google account's connected apps and the Drive tab asks you to sign in again before it shows anything. Files you already imported stay in your Content Library and in the posts that use them, because they are copies Postpone holds rather than links back to Drive.
