Media Storage Google Drive integration: support Shared Drives, shared files, and shortcuts
The Google Drive integration in Media Storage currently syncs only files owned by the connected Google account. Shared Drive content, files shared with the account, and shared-file shortcuts do not appear. The documented workaround is to copy files rather than shortcut them, which defeats the single source of truth that Shared Drives exist to provide. Please extend the integration to cover: Google Shared Drives (Team Drives) Files shared with the connected account Google Drive shortcuts, resolved to their target file Why this matters for agencies Agencies are HighLevel's core customer, and agencies keep client assets in Shared Drives, because Shared Drive files survive staff turnover while My Drive files leave with the employee who owned them. Under the current owned-files-only behavior, the integration does not fit the way agencies actually store client media. We manage church and clinic clients whose entire photo libraries, 100+ images each, live in Shared Drives. None of it is reachable through the integration today, so we still maintain a separate pipeline outside HighLevel just to get at those images. Why this should be a small change This looks like default query parameters on the Drive v3 files.list call rather than an architectural limit: supportsAllDrives=true and includeItemsFromAllDrives=true corpora=allDrives, or drives.list plus corpora=drive&driveId= to offer a Shared Drive picker sharedWithMe=true for files shared with the connected account resolve shortcutDetails.targetId for shortcut entries Worth noting: the drive.readonly scope already required to browse a user's Drive also covers Shared Drives that user can access, so existing connections would not need to re-authorize. This should be additive for every current user. Related "Connect Media files to a Google Drive Folder" (355 votes, shipped January 2025) has a comment asking for Shared Drive support. Filing separately because that request is closed and the comment is unlikely to be triaged.

Larger capacity files and or also a converter/zip utility
It was suggested by Andrew V. (on ticket id 4793470) that I make the below suggestion... I appreciate you clarifying that you are working with "AVI" files. I completely understand your concern regarding the use of zipped files; you are exactly right that if a file is compressed to bypass an upload limit, it would still need to be "unpacked" to be functional within our system, which would then trigger those same size constraints. Perhaps you could charge more for another tier account to offer a way to increase the specific storage or upload thresholds by upgrading your package or license. These limits are standard across the board to ensure optimal performance for all users. Since increasing these caps is not a feature we have available right now, I would love for you to share this as a suggestion on our "ideas board" so our developers can see the demand for higher capacity limits. Regarding your "AVI" files, "AVI" is often a very heavy, uncompressed format. To get these into your Media Library without losing the quality you need, I recommend converting them to "MP4" using a tool like HandBrake before uploading. This often shrinks the file size significantly while keeping the video clear. If the file remains over the limit even after conversion, the best path forward is to host the video on a dedicated service like Vimeo or Wistia and then use the "video element" to embed it directly into your pages. This bypasses our internal upload limits entirely while ensuring your videos load quickly for your viewers. Due to the above we are going to use another site to host a videos so we can have large files and have them in sub-folders as well.
