Embedder For Google Drive Premium for WordPress

Place Drive content in WordPress

Embedder For Google Drive lets authors choose files from Drive while editing WordPress posts and pages. Choose an inline display in Google’s read-only interactive viewer, a link to an editable file that opens in the same or a new browser tab, or a download where supported. Supported file types include PDFs, Word files, ZIP files, videos, pictures, and native Google documents such as spreadsheets, drawings, and forms. Native Google formats can be linked or embedded, but direct downloads are unavailable for them.

Use Premium to view files, folders, and calendars

Premium’s Drive browser groups items under My Drive, Recent Files, Starred, and Shared With Me. Authors can browse or search these categories while preparing content.

• Folder lists: Display files from a Drive folder and update the collection in Drive.
• Calendars: Select a Google Calendar to embed it or provide ICAL or XML download links.
• Support and updates: Premium includes support and updates for one year.

Folder lists can help maintain document libraries, resource pages, internal information areas, and public collections from Drive.

Add Enterprise intranet features

Enterprise includes the basic and Premium capabilities and connects Drive more closely with a WordPress intranet. Each intranet page or post can have its own Drive-backed file attachments, keeping document sharing within the intranet process.

Enterprise’s interactive embedded folders let users preview files and open subfolders without leaving the website. It also supports Team Drives, now called Shared Drives.

Check file access and compatibility

Google Drive sharing options determine whether visitors can view embedded files. Public access generally requires a setting such as Anyone with the link can view or a higher access level; the appropriate setting depends on the audience and the file. The add-on supports public websites, private intranets, and WordPress multisite networks.
