Linking Google Drive and Dropbox to listings

If your photos and documents already live in Google Drive or Dropbox, you don't need to re-download and re-upload them to Covent. You can link them directly.

Two ways to link

1. Paste a share link on the listing. On any media tab (Photos, Videos, Documents, Links) the link input accepts Google Drive and Dropbox URLs. Covent detects the provider from the URL, attaches the asset to the listing, and renders a preview where possible.

2. Connect the cloud app in Settings. For deeper integration, connect your Google Drive or Dropbox account under Settings > Integrations > Apps. Once connected:

Covent can fetch file metadata and previews without you having to copy individual share links.
File pickers can browse your Drive or Dropbox folders directly.

When to use each

One-off link. Good enough if you just need to paste a Drive folder of drone shots onto a single listing.
Connect the app. Worth doing if you store most listing media in the same cloud account because it saves repeated copy-pasting.

Connecting Google Drive

Go to Settings > Integrations > Apps.
Find the Google Drive tile and click Connect.
OAuth into your Google account.
Grant read access when prompted. Covent only needs read access to pull files - it doesn't modify your Drive.

Connecting Dropbox

Go to Settings > Integrations > Apps.
Find the Dropbox tile and click Connect.
OAuth into your Dropbox account.
Grant read access when prompted.

Disconnecting

Either integration can be disconnected from the same Apps tab. Disconnecting immediately revokes Covent's access. Previously linked files remain attached to listings as external links, but they'll stop showing previews if the underlying cloud share is also revoked.
