Bulk Upload Using GDrive

All files loaded in a single batch will have the same tags applied to them. Additionally, each media from the batch will be assigned the same description and channels (Optional — if description is not provided then media title and description will be the same, i.e. file name).

Note: The link must be a shared folder link that grants access to the media files within the folder. The folder must be publicly accessible or shared with the proper permissions to allow the application to access the files. Ensure the link is secure and authenticated. Only supported file formats (Documents, Images, Video, Audio) within the folder will be processed. Any unsupported files or invalid links will be ignored by the application. Subfolders or any archived formats (such as ZIP files) within the shared folder will be ignored, and only the files at the root level of the folder will be processed.

Currently there can be MAX 20 media per batch (inclusive size should not be greater than 2 GB).
