Import from Google Drive, Dropbox, Frame.io or Higgsfield
Bring creatives into Koast from Google Drive, Dropbox, Frame.io or Higgsfield.
Connect Google Drive, Dropbox, Frame.io or Higgsfield once, then pull images and videos into your creative library without downloading them first. Imported files are copied into Koast.
Before you start
- Images import into any brand. Videos need a working Facebook connection on the ad account you're working in, because they're processed through it. Without one, Koast refuses the videos (see below).
- For Frame.io, you need a Frame.io V4 account, the current version run by Adobe.
- Whether you see Google Drive and Dropbox in Settings depends on your role's permissions.
Connect a service
Open Settings and select Your integrations.
Under All integrations, select Google Drive, Dropbox or Frame.io in Creative. Sign-in starts right away.
Sign in to the account you want to import from and allow access. For Frame.io, sign in with the Adobe profile that owns your Frame.io workspace.
Once connected, the service shows under Connected and gets its own entry under Your integrations. Its page shows Import assets and Disconnect integration. Select Disconnect any time to remove the connection.
Import files
Open Creatives and select Add Creatives.
Pick Import from Google Drive, Import from Dropbox or Import from Frame.io. You can also start from the service's page in Settings.
Choose what to bring in, then confirm.
Find the files under Imported in the view menu once they arrive.
What you can pick differs by service:
| Service | What you can import |
|---|---|
| Google Drive | Files and folders. |
| Dropbox | Files and folders, including every subfolder. Koast recreates the folders in your library. JPG, PNG, MP4 and MOV, up to 1GB per file. |
| Frame.io | Files, up to 100 MB each; larger files are skipped. Browse into folders, tick the files and select the import button, which shows how many files you picked. Keep the window open until it finishes. A file already in your library is skipped, or added to the folder you're in. |
How long an import takes depends on how much you bring in.
Import from Higgsfield
Bring in the images and videos you made in Higgsfield.
Connect Higgsfield with Sign in with Higgsfield: open Settings, select Your integrations, then Higgsfield under All integrations. A connection made with an API key can make new images with the agent, but it can't import.
In Creatives, open the folder you want the files in, then select Add Creatives and Import from Higgsfield.
Tick the generations you want, up to 24 at a time. Select Load more to see older ones.
Select the import button, which shows how many you picked, such as Import 3. Videos can take a minute, so keep the window open until it finishes.
Each generation then shows Added, Skipped or Failed. Only finished generations import. Files land in the folder you had open, or at the top of the library, named after Higgsfield and the generation, such as "Higgsfield image 3f9a1c2e". Images are saved as JPG.
If Higgsfield isn't connected, or the connection was made with an API key or has expired, Koast says so ("Connect Higgsfield to continue", "Connect your Higgsfield account to import your generations" or "Reconnect Higgsfield to continue") and opens Higgsfield's settings.
If the import is refused
The same message names Dropbox, Frame.io or Higgsfield when you import from those. Videos need a Facebook connection on the ad account you're working in; images import without one. Connect Facebook, then import the videos again. See Connect Meta and pick your ad accounts. If Facebook is connected but the token is no longer valid, you see "A valid ad account connection is required to import videos from …". Reconnect Facebook. See Reconnect Facebook and refresh assets.
Frame.io says "Your Adobe account has no Frame.io access". Adobe sign-in worked, but that profile doesn't have a Frame.io V4 account. Sign in with the Adobe profile that owns your Frame.io workspace. Legacy Frame.io accounts have to be upgraded to V4 by Adobe before they can connect.
Create ad images with the agent
Ask Koast Agent for new ad images in your brand's style, based on the references you pick, then rate, edit, resize, save and use them.
Import from Trybe
Connect Trybe with an API key, bring approved creator submissions into your creative library, and launch them with the Trybe tag that credits each creator.
