Google Drive offers 15 GB of free cloud storage for all users with a Google account. With new Android phones, people can automatically upload photos to their Google Drive accounts.
Recently for one of our projects, we had the need to connect Google Drive with WordPress. This is possible and there is a plugin to do the job. In this article, we are going to see how to connect Google Drive to our WordPress media library.
First of all, you need to create a public access folder in Google Drive. We enter our Google Drive account and create a new folder. Click on the share icon and on the screen click on the popup where it says Private > Only you can access.
In the next pop-up window, you need to select the public option on the web and click on the Save button.
In the next step, you need to install and activate the Use-your-Drive plugin. After activation, we visit Media > Google Drive Gallery to configure the plugin.
