How to set up Cloud Storage & The Brief integration

At The Brief, we understand the importance of streamlining your design workflow. Our Cloud Integration feature allows you to seamlessly connect your Google Drive or Dropbox accounts with The Brief, enabling you to upload and access assets directly from your cloud storage.

Accessing Your Cloud Storage Account in Ad Studio

To access your cloud storage account from The Brief's Ad Studio, follow these steps:

  1. Head over to the left sidebar, and go to Apps.
  2. Select your preferred cloud storage option, Google Drive, Dropbox or Bynder.
  3. If you still need to connect to a cloud storage account, the Connect personal account option will appear, and you will be taken through the process of linking The Brief with your cloud storage account.

Once the cloud storage account is successfully linked, you can access all the folders and files¹ within your cloud storage account directly from The Brief.
