Agorapulse currently only integrates with Google Drive. However, we have a straightforward and easy method for uploading your Dropbox files to Agorapulse directly from your computer.
In this article, we will cover:
How to connect your Google Drive account
Connecting your Google Drive account to Agorapulse is done from the Publishing Composer via the Media section.
To connect your Google Drive account, you will need to:
Click on Create post
In the Media section, click Browse files and select Upload from Google Drive
In the pop-up, select the Google Account that you would like to use or click Use another account if the account isn't listed
Click Continue to grant Agorapulse access to your Google Drive files
Now that a Google account has been connected, an overlay will appear allowing you to browse your files stored here. Find the media you want to upload, and click Select to add your files to the composer.
Please note: You can select multiple files by holding down the CTRL (Windows) or the Command (Mac) key and then clicking the individual files that you want to upload.
What are the limitations of the Google Drive integration?
Google Drive Integration Restrictions: The integration operates at the user level, preventing organization-wide access to a shared Google Drive. Each member must connect their own Google Drive account.
User Authentication Requirements: Users must reconnect to their Google Drive account each time they upload a file in the composer, as persistent authentication is not currently supported.
Document Upload Limitations: Users can only upload documents they own or have the Editor role in Google Drive. To overcome these restrictions, the document's owner must grant them the Editor role or transfer ownership of the document on Google Drive. Refer to Google documentation here.
