Edit videos straight from a Google Drive folder
Raw2Reel can work from a Google Drive folder you share with it. Put a raw video in the folder from your phone or computer and it shows up in Raw2Reel by itself, ready to edit. When you save the finished video, it lands back in the same folder, in Done & Ready. No uploading, no downloading, and your team can drop clips in the folder too.
Set it up once
Make a folder in Google Drive
Any name. Share it with hello@raw2reel.com as Editor.
Paste the folder link in Raw2Reel
Under Videos, tap Connect your Google Drive folder, paste the link and pick the language you speak.
Drop videos in the folder
They appear in Raw2Reel by themselves. Saved videos go back to Done & Ready.
Why a folder beats uploading
Big phone videos take a long time to upload through a browser, and the page has to stay open. With a Drive folder, Google's own app on your phone or computer does the uploading in the background. As soon as Google has the whole file, Raw2Reel picks it up.
What happens to the files
Each finished video you save goes into a Done & Ready folder inside your folder, in full quality. The raw video moves to Original done, so the main folder only ever holds what still needs editing. Nothing is deleted.
Good for teams and assistants
Anyone you share the folder with can add clips: a camera person, an assistant or a client. You edit and save in Raw2Reel, and they find the finished video in Done & Ready without you sending anything.
Sharing raw footage for editing through Google Drive (updated 30 Oct 2026)
The usual way to get raw footage to an editor is a shared Drive folder and a wait. Here the folder is the editor. Drop the raw clips in, and in Raw2Reel tick them in the To edit list in the order they should play, then tap Join into one video, or Edit each alone for separate Reels. When you connect the folder you pick the language you speak; 90+ spoken languages are recognised. The saved video goes back to Done & Ready in Full HD 1080p at the original frame rate. Paid videos have no mark, and free ones carry a small Raw2Reel mark in the corner.
Everything else stays the same
Clips that come in from Drive get the same edit as uploads: pauses and retakes cut, word-by-word captions, music, b-roll from your own pictures first, auto zoom, and changes in plain words. Several clips can be joined into one video in the order you pick.
What access Raw2Reel gets
Only the one folder you share, nothing else in your Drive. To stop, remove hello@raw2reel.com from the folder's sharing.
Price: 3 free videos every month
You get 3 free videos every month, with no card and the Drive folder included: captions, cuts and music in 720p, up to 10 min a month. For more, take the monthly plan or a pack: 15 videos a month for $15, or 10 videos for $29 or 30 for $69 paid once. A video only counts the first time you save it.
