How to Connect Google Drive to Sparkforge Media Storage

By Sparkforge Support Team ·Last reviewed May 3, 2026

Connect Google Drive in the Sparkforge Media Storage area to browse and use Drive files alongside native media. Edits sync in real time; rename and delete are blocked from Sparkforge to protect Drive data.

Google Drive integrates with Sparkforge Media Storage so you can browse, preview, and use Drive files in funnels, emails, and CRM documents without leaving Sparkforge. Files stay stored in Drive — Sparkforge gives you an interface on top of them.

What you get

One library: CRM documents, funnel assets, and Drive files appear together.
Real-time sync: uploads, deletions, and edits in Drive show up in Sparkforge instantly.
Folder management: create folders and upload files in either the root or any subfolder.
Two-way visibility: changes flow both directions, so the libraries stay aligned.

Limitations

No rename or delete from Sparkforge. Both actions are blocked on Drive files inside Sparkforge to protect the source data. Do those operations in Drive.
Files live in Drive. Sparkforge isn't a copy — it's a live view. Disconnect the integration and the files are no longer accessible from Sparkforge.

Connect Google Drive

Open Media Storage. Navigate to Media Storage in Sparkforge.
Click Connect Google Drive. The button is in the top-right corner of the Media Library.
Sign in. Follow the prompts to log in to your Google account.
Grant access. Approve the permissions Sparkforge requests.

After connecting, the Connect button is replaced by a usage indicator showing how much of your Drive storage you're occupying.

Browse Drive files

Click the Google Drive icon or pick Google Drive from the dropdown in Media Storage. Drive files and folders appear alongside native Sparkforge media.

Disconnect or switch accounts

Go to Settings → Integrations. Under Google, click Manage, then Disconnect Account. You can then connect a different Drive.
