Import videos from Google Drive or Dropbox into MediaZilla. Select a project, connect your account, and files transfer in the cloud.

You can import videos directly from Google Drive or Dropbox into MediaZilla. This is often faster than uploading from your device, since the transfer happens entirely in the cloud.


Steps to Import

  1. Open the Upload screen:

    • Click the Upload Video button at the top of a project (destination preselected), or

    • Open the Upload Manager (up arrow, upper-right) and click the Upload icon (top-left of the manager).

  2. In the Upload screen:

    • Select the destination project (if not already set).

    • Choose Google Drive or Dropbox as the source.

  3. Click Connect to Google Drive/Dropbox.

    • Sign into the account you want to use (this can be different from the Google account used for signing into MediaZilla).

    • Grant the requested permissions.

  4. A file browser will appear. Select one or more videos.
    ​

  5. Click Select/Choose to confirm.

    • Your import will begin and the status will appear in the Upload Manager.


Notes & Tips

  • Cloud imports continue in the background, even if you close your browser or shut down your computer.

  • To disconnect a linked account, click the green link icon next to the service name in the Upload screen.
    ​

  • You can reconnect at any time to use a different Google Drive or Dropbox account.
