Google Drive app for digital signage
The Google Drive app eliminates the frustrating upload-publish cycle that slows down content updates. Museums display rotating art collections, retailers showcase product photos, and offices maintain team announcements by managing content directly in Drive. Setup takes moments – authenticate your account, select folders, adjust settings, and publish. Drive files update on your screens automatically, creating a maintenance-free display system that stays current without ongoing management.

FAQ
Can I control which specific files from my Drive folder appear on screens?
Yes. The app displays exactly what's in your selected folder, giving you precise control through Google Drive's organization system. Many users create dedicated "Digital Signage" folders with subfolders for different screens or locations. This approach keeps display content separate from other Drive files while maintaining the convenience of Drive's familiar interface.
Will the app display different file types within the same folder?
The app supports both images and videos from your Drive folders. When mixing media types, you can set separate duration controls for each – for example, showing images for 10 seconds while allowing videos to play their full length. This versatility makes it ideal for mixed-media presentations without complex playlist creation.
How does the app handle portrait versus landscape screen orientations?
The app displays content based on your screen's orientation settings, which are configured at the screen level in Fugo. When adding content from Google Drive, the system will adapt it to match your screen's preset orientation. For mixed-aspect-ratio content, most users select folders with media that matches their screen orientation or use the "fit" setting to maintain visual integrity across all displays.
Is there a limit to how many files I can connect from Google Drive?
The app allows you to connect multiple files or entire folders from your Google Drive account. While there's no stated hard limit, like any digital system, extremely large collections may take longer to initially load. Many users organize their content into specific folders dedicated to digital signage to keep their displays running smoothly and make content management more intuitive.
