Set your Google Drive images to shared
The first step is to set the images and/or image folders in Google Drive to allow sharing. Typically, they are set to Restricted access by default, which prevents Photoroom from showing previews of the images.
In Google Drive, select the context menu ( ... ) for the file or folder.
Select the Share menu.
Select Share.
Set the General access option to Anyone with the link and Viewer.
Select Done.
Next, connect your Google Drive to Photoroom. To do that, you need to access the Add images dialog.
Access the Add images dialog
To connect Photoroom to your Google Drive, use an Add images dialog.
The Add images dialog is available from many places, including:
Home page > Start from a photo
Home page > Remove a background
Home page > Generate AI backgrounds
Home page > Retouch an image
Any AI tool's photo upload step
Batch > Add images
Batch > main editor > Insert > Graphics
Batch > main editor > Insert > Brand kit
Shopify Products editor > Add product
Shopify Products editor > Add images.
When you have accessed the Add images dialog, you can connect your Google Drive to Photoroom.
Connect Google Drive to Photoroom
To connect a Google Drive to Photoroom:
Access the Add images dialog.
Select the Google Drive tab.
Select Connect to Google Drive.
Follow the on-screen instructions to log in to your account and connect your Google Drive.
Select Open Google Drive.
Browse to the images you want to share with Photoroom, select them and then click Select.
Photoroom shows thumbnail images for each of the shared images you have chosen from your Google Drive. These are now available on the Google Drive tab whenever you access the Add images dialog.
If you need to add more images, select Add from Drive and repeat the process.
Note: If you only see transparent thumbnails, this is likely because the image files or folders are set to Restricted in your Google Drive. Set them to shared to allow Photoroom to show the thumbnails.
Connecting a Google Drive to Photoroom is a one-time activity. Once you have done it, the shared images from your Google Drive are available every time you access the Add images dialog.
