Step-by-Step Guide to Using Media Storage
Step 1: Accessing Media Storage
Navigate to Media Storage:
- Click on Media Storage from the left sidebar.
Step 2: Navigating Media Storage
Within Media Storage, you can sort through files and folders. You can upload media and create folders using the buttons in the top right corner. You can search at the top for media you’ve uploaded and add images from Unsplash or Pixabay (free image providers).
Step 3: Uploading Files
Upload Files:
- Drag and drop your files directly into Media Storage.
Note: Images selected from third-party providers like Unsplash or Pixabay are automatically copied to your servers, ensuring they remain visible even if the original source is deleted.
Step 4: Organizing Media
Organize Your Media:
- Use the new sorting options to arrange your media files efficiently.
- Folders feature a three-dot menu, similar to files, allowing for more management options like renaming, deleting, or sharing links.
- Choose between grid and list views for optimal organization.
Sync Google Drive with Your Media Storage
Users can sync files directly between Google Drive and their media storage in Infinite Sales. This integration simplifies file management, allowing users to access and organize all their essential files from within Infinite Sales, eliminating the need to switch between platforms.
How to Use: Connect your Google Drive to Media Storage, then drag, drop, and organize files as needed. Note that folder creation and uploads are two-way synced, while rename and delete functions remain disabled for Google Drive to protect file integrity. Users can create folders, upload files in the folder and the root folder
Step 5: Quick Actions
Quick Actions:
- Right-click on any media file to access a dropdown menu with various options.
- Hover over any file to quickly view essential details such as the file name, last modified date, and file size.
- Clicking on an image opens a detailed preview popup, displaying the published date, file size, and image dimensions. You can also download the image or copy its link directly.
Useful Tips:
- Recommendation for Naming and Tagging: Team members are advised to name images and add keywords for easier searchability.
- Compress Images in ZIP Files: Compressing images into ZIP files reduces their size for faster uploads and downloads, improving efficiency in file management and minimizing storage space usage.
Using Images in Different Builders
Step 6: Using Images in the Funnel or Website Builder
1. Navigate to Funnels or Websites.
2. Choose a Funnel and Edit a Funnel Step (or Websites and choose a page).
3. Add an Image element to the funnel page using the drag-and-drop features.
4. Click on the “Image” Icon.
5. Choose or Upload an Image from your Media Storage.
6. Save your changes to the Funnel/Website page.
Note: To get the URL the image is hosted at, use the Get Link button in the image options in Media Storage, or add the image to your funnel. Select the image, and copy the URL under Image in the Element Settings.
Step 7: Using Images in the Email Builder
1. Navigate to the Email Builder in the marketing tab.
2. Choose the email template you wish to edit.
3. Add an Image element using the drag-and-drop features.
4. Using the menu on the left-hand side, you can add or replace an image and access Media Storage.
5. Choose your image.
6. Save any changes to your email template.
An image added to Media Storage from one part of Infinite Sales will be usable system-wide. This means if you add a new image to a funnel page, and you wish to use it later in the email builder, you can do so.
Pro Tip: We recommend naming your images and using folders when possible to stay organized and make searching for images easier. If you want to search for an image at a later time it will be easier to find “Lighthouse”, “Crows”, or “Radio” rather than “img123.jpg” as a title.) You can also use folders, so that if you have several images and you don’t want to rename them individually, consider putting all the “Animals” in one folder, “Nature scenes” in another, etc.
Step 8: Using Images in the Social Planner
1. Navigate to the Social Planner in the Marketing tab.
2. Create or edit a post.
3. Add an image or a video using the image/video icon.
4. Choose your image.
