Google is the leading free Data Studio connector provider. The main limitation is that Google, at this time, only creates connectors for other Google products such as Google Ads, Google Analytics, etc. Additionally, blending data with Google connectors isn’t as easy or possible in some cases which is why we lean toward other connectors when we need to roll-up data across accounts.
In this post, we’ll cover everything you need to know about Google’s Data Studio Connectors.
