Google Ads now enables you to upload assets directly from your Google Drive or Dropbox into the asset library. The creation of assets is a collaborative process and these assets are often stored on shared drives, so we want to enable you to directly upload content from your cloud storage platform, including Google Drive and Dropbox.
The asset library works as a gallery for all of your assets, including images, text, sitelinks, and YouTube videos, enabling you to store and create ads for your campaign. You can access the asset library through the tools icon , or during the ad creation process.
