Cloud Image Uploader
Matches the images in your Google Drive folder to Shopify products by SKU or barcode, and uploads them.
Install on your Shopify store (opens in a new tab)Designed for stores with large catalogues that keep product images in Google Drive.
What it does
From Drive to product
You pick a Drive folder
Connect your Google account and choose the folder by pasting its link or searching your folders. The app only reads the folder; it never changes or deletes anything in your Drive.
Matched by file name
The file name is matched to a SKU, a barcode or a Shopify ID, and you choose which in Settings. The automatic option tries the SKU first, then the barcode.
Several images, in order
SKU.jpg becomes the main image, and SKU_1.jpg and SKU_2.jpg are added to the gallery in that order. The main image is linked to the variant; the others stay in the product gallery.
It runs by itself
Scheduled sync
Start a sync yourself or let it run on the interval you choose. When a new product is added to the store, its images are looked for shortly after.
Leaves what is there alone
An image the product already has is not uploaded again. Existing images are never deleted or replaced; new files are added beside them.
Removes what you delete from Drive
A file you delete from the Drive folder is also removed from the product the app uploaded it to, so the folder and the product images do not drift apart.
You stay in control
Which file went where
The match table shows which file went to which product and variant. A product’s detail page shows its matched and existing images and its own activity log.
Retries one file
A file that failed to upload can be retried on its own. You can stop a running sync, and a second one does not start until the first has finished.
Alt text and CSV
Each uploaded image gets the product or variant title as its alt text. Match results can be downloaded as CSV.
