Google Drive plugin for Digital Signage
Introduction to Google Drive plugin for Digital Signage
Google Drive lets you play content from a Google Drive folder. Imagine you have a folder in Google Drive with all your favorite photos or ads, those photos or ads can automatically be played in your content by simply adding our Google Drive Content plugin. And the cool part is, whenever you add a photo or delete a photo the content updates automatically in your digital signage content.
Remember this is not the same as our Google Drive feature, where you can link your Google Drive directly in your library.
