详情介绍:
Connect Google Drive to WooCommerce and manage downloadable products more easily. Browse, search and select Google Drive files or folders in the built-in explorer, then add them to WooCommerce products without manually copying links. Works with simple and variable downloadable products.
Your files stay in Google Drive. Customers receive download links through WooCommerce, and access follows the sharing permissions you set in Google Drive.

常见问题:
Can I add Google Drive files and folders to WooCommerce products?
Yes. Lite inserts file or folder URLs into WooCommerce downloadable products. WooCommerce handles the customer's normal download link after purchase.
Will customers be able to open any file I select?
Only if its Google Drive sharing settings allow it. Lite never automatically grants permission to buyers. For buyer-specific, managed private access, see Drive Downloads Pro.
Can buyers download directly without opening Google Drive?
Lite uses links that open in Google Drive. Pro provides direct downloads through WooCommerce for supported files and folders, including on-demand ZIP files for supported folders.
Can I upload files or create folders?
Yes, if the connected Google account and its authorized OAuth permissions allow it. Files are uploaded directly to Google Drive from the browser, not stored as media in WordPress.
Does Lite change public or private sharing settings?
No. Share files and folders in Google Drive before offering them as downloads. Pro can manage individual permissions and supported shared-link delivery automatically.
What does Pro add compared with Lite?
Pro adds direct downloads, private buyer access, automatic grants and revocations, per-product delivery and security settings, multiple Google Drive accounts, background access operations and WooCommerce Subscriptions integration.
Do I need a Google API key or a project number?
No. You only need your Google Cloud Client ID and Client Secret. Follow the Installation section to connect your account.
Will upgrading to Pro remove my existing downloads?
No. Your WooCommerce products and download links are preserved. Pro guides you through connecting Google and checking your setup before you remove Lite.
Does Lite support variable products?
Yes. The Google Drive button is available in the download fields of simple and variable WooCommerce products.
Does Lite work without WooCommerce?
No. WooCommerce is required.
Does Lite support multiple languages or multisite?
Lite includes English, Spanish, French and Portuguese translations. On multisite, each site maintains its own Google connection.
What information does the plugin store?
Lite stores OAuth connection settings and encrypted credentials/tokens when supported by the server, along with download naming preferences. Selected file and folder URLs are saved as WooCommerce product downloads. Your Google Drive file contents are not copied to the WordPress media library.
