in just a few clicks. The plugin uses a simple authorization flow, so you can start

You can connect an application folder, selected folders, or your entire Drive depending

Drive files directly from your WordPress dashboard. It gives you a familiar file
management experience without leaving your site.

rules, display options, and file actions. After creating a module, place it on any
page, post, or widget area using a shortcode.

**Google Drive File Uploads**
 Upload files from your WordPress site directly to
Google Drive. This helps you collect, store, and organize files in the cloud instead
of using only your server storage.

extensions, and supported file content. It helps admins and users quickly locate
the files they need.

Player are designed to work smoothly across desktop, tablet, and mobile devices.

processes, and client reviews.

#### 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.

#### 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.

### External services

   files from your WordPress site.
 * **Gravatar** – [Terms of Service](https://gravatar.com/site/terms-of-service)
   | [Privacy Policy](https://automattic.com/privacy/)
