Save Video To Camera Roll From Google Drive
If you are an avid video downloader, you may have come across the problem of saving a video to your camera roll from Google Drive. Unlike other video sharing platforms, Google Drive does not offer a direct option to download videos to your camera roll. However, there are still ways to save those videos to your phone. In this guide, we will explain how to do it step by step.
Step 1: Download Google Drive App
The first step is to download and install the Google Drive app on your phone. You can find it in the App Store (for iOS users) or Google Play Store (for Android users). Make sure to sign in to your Google account to access your stored files.
Step 2: Find the Video You Want to Save
Once you open the Google Drive app, find the video you want to save to your camera roll. You can either scroll through your files or use the search bar to find it quickly. Once you find it, tap on the video to open it.
Step 3: Download the Video
Once the video is open, tap on the three dots located in the upper right corner of the screen. This will open a menu with different options. Tap on "Make a Copy."
Next, select "Save Video" from the pop-up menu. The video will start downloading to your phone's storage. The time it takes to download will depend on the file size and your internet speed.
Step 4: Save Video to Your Camera Roll
Once the video has finished downloading, go to your phone's gallery app or camera roll. You should see the downloaded video file there. Tap on it to open it and make sure it looks good. If everything looks good, tap the "Share" button and select "Save Video" or "Save to Camera Roll" option to save the video to your camera roll.
That's it! You have successfully saved the video from Google Drive to your phone's camera roll.
