Accessing Your Drive Photos

You only need to open images from Google Drive in BeFunky once. After you have opened those images from Google Drive, they can be accessed via the Drive option in the Open menu, or through the Image Manager by selecting the (...) button. However, if it has been a little while since you've accessed Google Drive on BeFunky, you'll see a window prompting you to log in to Drive again before loading your photos.

The same is true for any images (and folders) you save to Drive from the BeFunky app.
