Introduction

The Offsite feature makes it easy to connect third-party file storage accounts to Marin Social's Asset Manager. This allows you to store your creative assets with a service like Google Drive and then use them in Marin Social as ad images or videos.

Note: Only Google Drive accounts are supported at this time. We plan to add support for DropBox, Box, and OneDrive accounts in the future.
