# Google Drive & Dropbox Sync

To help our customers save time on uploading assets to our render farm, we develop the feature to connect your project folder from/to [**Dropbox**](https://www.dropbox.com/) and [**Google Drive**](https://drive.google.com/). From now on, you can sync your whole folder without consuming time uploading each asset file to our render farm.&#x20;

**1. Connect to External Storages**

Click the **Dropbox** button or **Google Drive** button to connect

#### Auto Sync Render Outputs

We understand the pain point of unnecessary time manually downloading or uploading render results. Therefore, we assist the auto-sync feature to help our customers automatically sync the render results to Dropbox or Google Drive or both at the same time.

**1. Turn on the Auto Sync feature**

If you want to auto-sync outputs to your Google Drive/Dropbox, please turn on "Auto Sync Output Configuration".

**2. Select the output folder which your render results will be located**

And then you have to save your configuration:

…and that’s all done! Your render outputs will be automatically synced to your Dropbox/Google Drive every time you complete rendering.
