Connect your Google Drive to WordPress to browse, uploads, manage, display and share files with galleries, and different modules on your WordPress site.
Use it to:
- Browse and manage Google Drive files from WordPress.
- Build file browsers, lists, galleries, sliders, media players, and embeds.
- Display selected files or folders on the front end.
- Let visitors or team members upload files into allowed folders.
- Connect your own Google OAuth app and control the permission scope you grant.
- Keep tokens and plugin settings on your own WordPress site.
Privacy and data handling
Connect Drive does not store your Google Drive files on our servers.
Your site connects directly to Google to request authorization, fetch files, generate previews, and perform actions you approve. Access and refresh tokens are stored in your WordPress database so the plugin can continue working after authorization.
If you enable front-end modules, the plugin may also generate secure preview, download, and thumbnail URLs on your site so approved visitors can access the files you choose to share.
Google Drive permissions
You can choose the access level that fits your setup:
- Application Folder: access only to the plugin folder created in Drive.
- Specific Folders: access only to the folders you explicitly select.
- Entire Drive: access to the connected Drive account for full browsing and management features.
Google shows the exact permissions on the authorization screen before access is granted. You can revoke access at any time from your Google account or by disconnecting the account in WordPress.
