DriveHub is an all-in-one Google Drive plugin for WordPress that works as a Google Drive file manager, document embedder, image and video gallery, file uploader, document library, and cloud file sharing solution.

Manage Google Drive files directly from WordPress, embed Google Drive files including Docs, Sheets, Slides, PDFs, images, and supported media, create galleries and document libraries, upload and download files, and display cloud content without duplicating your entire Drive library on WordPress hosting.

DriveHub provides a Google Drive integration for WordPress, so files stay organized in Drive while your website becomes the frontend for displaying, sharing, collecting, and delivering them. Create reusable modules and insert them using Gutenberg, Elementor, Divi, Classic Editor / TinyMCE, or shortcodes.

Source Code

The JavaScript in assets/js/ is a compiled/minified build. The full, human-readable source is included in this plugin under js-src/, along with the package.json used to build it. To build from source: run npm install followed by npm run build:all from the plugin’s root directory.

Key Features

✅ Google Drive File Manager

Manage files and folders from your connected Drive account without leaving WordPress.

Supported actions include:

Browse and search files and folders
Upload files and create folders
Rename, move, copy, and delete files and folders
Create shareable links
Download individual files and folders as ZIP archives
Browse My Drive, Shared with me, Starred, Computers, and other supported Drive locations

Your original files remain in Drive while WordPress provides the management interface.

✅ Embed Google Drive Files in WordPress

Embed supported Google Docs, Sheets, Slides, PDFs, images, media, and other document formats directly into WordPress pages and posts.

Create an Embed Document module, select a file, configure its display settings, and place it in your WordPress content. Use embeds for reports, manuals, presentations, spreadsheets, course materials, public documents, and client resources.

✅ Google Drive Image & Video Gallery

Turn supported images and videos stored in Drive into responsive WordPress galleries.

Configure available gallery settings such as layout, columns, sizing, spacing, sorting, file names, folder visibility, and lightbox viewing. Use galleries for photography portfolios, client galleries, events, products, schools, creative work, and media collections.

✅ Google Drive Document Library and File List

Turn a selected Drive folder into a structured file list, document library, resource center, or download collection.

Display supported file information and actions such as file name, size, date, folder, preview, and download. Use file lists for company documents, reports, manuals, product documentation, course resources, client deliverables, and internal resources.

✅ Upload Files from WordPress to Google Drive

Send supported files from WordPress to your connected Drive account. DriveHub includes Contact Form 7 integration for supported file-upload workflows such as applications, client documents, project submissions, assignments, support attachments, and general file collection.

✅ Google Drive Downloads and File Sharing

Provide frontend downloads and supported file-sharing options for selected Drive files. Protected-download workflows can use signed, expiring tokens instead of exposing the underlying file URL directly.

Depending on the module, sharing options can include direct links, email, Facebook, X/Twitter, and WhatsApp.

✅ File Access Control

Restrict supported frontend modules and administrative functionality by WordPress user role, individual user, or password. Use access controls for client documents, membership resources, internal files, private content, and protected downloads.

✅ OAuth Connection

Connect supported Google Drive accounts through OAuth authentication without sharing a Google account password with WordPress. Administrators can connect, reconnect, and manage authorization from the WordPress dashboard.

Why Use Google Drive With WordPress?

WordPress provides the website and publishing layer, while Google Drive provides cloud storage and file organization. DriveHub connects the two, allowing sites to use Google Drive as file storage for WordPress while managing, embedding, displaying, uploading, sharing, and delivering selected Drive files.

This can reduce duplicate file management for teams already using Google Drive or Google Workspace for documents, images, media, and other resources.

File Storage and Delivery

Original files remain in your connected Drive account. DriveHub keeps Google Drive as the source for supported WordPress file workflows and does not require your entire cloud library to be copied into the WordPress Media Library simply to display supported content.

This approach is useful for document collections, image libraries, downloadable resources, client files, course materials, company documents, and media archives. Some supported operations may read or stream file data through your WordPress server when required for a preview, download, or other requested action.

Module Builder

The Module Builder lets you create reusable Google Drive modules for displaying and interacting with files in WordPress.

Choose a module, select your Drive file or folder, configure the available settings, and insert the saved module into your WordPress website.

External services

DriveHub connects to third-party services when the relevant functionality is used.

Google Drive API

Service: Google Drive API

Purpose: Used to access supported files, folders, metadata, uploads, downloads, previews, and requested file-management operations.

Data transmitted: OAuth authorization data, access tokens, file metadata, and file content when required for an active operation.

When data is transmitted: When an administrator connects an account or when a requested Drive operation is performed.

Google Privacy Policy:
https://policies.google.com/privacy

Google APIs Terms of Service:

Google API Services User Data Policy:
https://developers.google.com/terms/api-services-user-data-policy

Google OAuth 2.0

Service: Google OAuth 2.0

Purpose: Used to authenticate a Google account and authorize access to requested Drive resources.

Data transmitted: OAuth authorization information and account information required to complete authentication.

When data is transmitted: When an administrator connects or reconnects an account.

Google Privacy Policy:
https://policies.google.com/privacy

DriveHub OAuth Connection Service (Sovlix)

Service: DriveHub OAuth Connection Service, operated by Sovlix (sovlix.com).

Purpose: Powers the “Automatic” (1-click) Google account connection option. Provides a shared OAuth Client ID so site admins don’t need to create their own Google Cloud project, and relays refresh-token exchanges so the plugin never needs to store a Google OAuth client secret for this mode.

Data transmitted:

Client ID lookup: no site or user data sent; the plugin requests the current shared Client ID from the proxy.
Token refresh: the site’s stored Google OAuth refresh token and the site URL are sent to the proxy, which exchanges the refresh token with Google on the site’s behalf and returns a new access token. The proxy does not store or access Drive file contents.

When data is transmitted: When an administrator connects an account using Automatic mode (Client ID lookup, cached 24 hours), and whenever a Google access token needs renewal (typically hourly). Not used in Manual mode, where the site’s own Google credentials are used directly and this service is never contacted.

File storage: The service does not act as storage for files from the connected Drive account.

Freemius SDK

Service: Freemius (freemius.com) – licensing, update delivery, and account management SDK.

Purpose: Checks for available plugin updates, manages the free-to-Pro upgrade flow and license validation for DriveHub Pro, and (only if the administrator opts in) collects anonymized usage data to help improve the plugin.

Data transmitted: Site URL, plugin version, WordPress and PHP version, and other non-sensitive diagnostic data used for update checks. If the administrator opts in to usage tracking, anonymized usage data is also sent. No Drive files, file content, or connected-account data are ever sent to Freemius.

When data is transmitted: On plugin activation (opt-in prompt shown), periodically for update/license checks, and when usage tracking is enabled.
