Why the download round trip costs more than it looks
The usual workflow is: editor uploads to Drive, buyer downloads the folder, buyer uploads the files to Ads Manager. For sixty files that is two large transfers, a full local copy of assets you do not need on your machine, and a naming step in the middle where things get renamed inconsistently. Reading Drive directly removes both transfers and the rename, which matters most on video-heavy batches where each file is large.
