Why Google Drive?

You can upload images directly in the chat with Nettify AI, but videos, large image galleries and other large files need to live in a cloud service first. The reason is simple: these files are too large to upload directly. The solution is to use Google Drive (or Dropbox / OneDrive). Upload the file there, share it with a public link, and give the link to Nettify AI. Nettify AI will embed it on your website — as a video player, an image gallery or a download button.
In short: Upload the file to Google Drive → share with a public link → paste the link into Nettify AI → describe where and how you want it on the website.

Add your own video

Have a video you want to show on your website — a presentation, a customer testimonial or an “about us” film? Here’s how:
1

Upload the video to Google Drive

Go to Google Drive and upload your video file. Most video formats work (MP4, MOV, AVI).
2

Make the link public

Right-click the video and select Share. Under General access, change from “Restricted” to “Anyone with the link”. Leave the role set to Viewer. Click Copy link.
3

Paste the link into Nettify AI

Open the chat with Nettify AI and paste the link. Describe where you want the video and how it should look.
4

Review and publish

Check that the video displays and plays in the preview. Then click Publish.
The link must be set to public. If it isn’t, visitors will be asked to request access — and they won’t be able to watch the video.

Ready-made prompts for video

Copy this prompt and paste it into Nettify AI:
Already have the video on YouTube or Vimeo? Then you don’t need Google Drive. Paste the YouTube or Vimeo link directly into Nettify AI and it will embed a video player automatically. See also HTML widget for more control over the embed.

Add images

A few images? Upload directly in Nettify AI

The easiest way to add images is to upload them directly in the chat with Nettify AI. You can upload 4 images at a time. Describe where you want them, and Nettify AI will place them on your website for you.
In short: Drag images into the chat with Nettify AI (max 4 at a time) → describe where they should go → done!

Lots of images? Use Google Drive

If you want to add many images — for example 40, 50 or 100 images for a gallery — uploading 4 at a time in the chat gets tedious. It’s more efficient and organized to collect the images in Google Drive and give Nettify AI the links instead.
1

Upload the images to Google Drive

Put all your images in a folder in Google Drive.
2

Share each image with a public link

Right-click each image and select Share → “Anyone with the link” → Copy link. Repeat for all the images you want to use.
3

Send the links to Nettify AI

Paste all the links into the chat with Nettify AI and describe what you want. Nettify AI will create the gallery for you.
Tip: You can share the entire folder as public in Google Drive. Then you can send the folder link to Nettify AI and ask it to fetch the images from there.
Copy this prompt and paste it into Nettify AI:
This is the step people forget most often. Here’s how:
  1. Right-click the file (video, image or document) and select Share
  2. Under General access, change from “Restricted” to “Anyone with the link”
  3. Leave the role set to Viewer
  4. Click Copy link and then Done
Test the link before you send it to Nettify AI. Paste it into a private/incognito window. If you can see the file without logging in, the link is set up correctly.

Frequently asked questions

You can use all common video formats (MP4, MOV, AVI, WebM) and image formats (JPG, PNG, WebP). For documents, PDF, Word and PowerPoint work. See Add PDF for PDFs specifically.
No. You can upload images directly in the chat, but videos and other large files need to live in a cloud service like Google Drive. You give Nettify AI the link instead of the file.
When you use Google Drive, the video stays private in your own account and is displayed directly on the website. With YouTube, the video is public on the YouTube platform and is embedded with a YouTube player. Use Google Drive when you want full control and don’t want the video on YouTube.
The link isn’t public. Go back to Google Drive and set sharing to “Anyone with the link”. Test the link in an incognito window afterwards.
Yes. If you replace the file in Google Drive without changing the link, the content updates automatically. If you upload a completely new file, you get a new link — and then you need to give Nettify AI the new link.
Google Drive has a limit of 5 TB per file. For best performance on your website, we recommend videos under 100 MB compressed to web format (MP4 with H.264).
Large video files can make your website slow to load. Compress the video before uploading, or consider using YouTube/Vimeo for longer videos.
