DriveHub is a Google Drive plugin for WordPress that combines a file manager, document embedder, image gallery, file uploader, document library, and cloud file sharing tools in one plugin.

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

DriveHub connects your existing Google Drive storage with WordPress, so your files can stay organized in Drive while your website becomes the frontend for displaying, sharing, collecting, and delivering them.

Create reusable modules for different file workflows and insert them into your website using Gutenberg, Elementor, Divi, the Classic Editor, or shortcodes.

Why Use Google Drive With WordPress?

WordPress provides the website and publishing layer.

Google Drive provides cloud storage and file organization.

DriveHub connects the two, allowing WordPress sites to manage, embed, display, upload, share, and deliver selected Drive files while the original content remains in cloud storage.

This can reduce the need to manually maintain the same file in both cloud storage and the WordPress Media Library.

It is particularly useful for teams that already use Drive or Google Workspace for documents, images, media, and other resources.

File Storage and Delivery

Original files remain in your connected Drive account.

DriveHub does not require your entire cloud library to be copied into the WordPress Media Library simply to display supported content.

This approach can be useful for websites working with:

• Large document collections
• Image libraries
• Downloadable resources
• Client files
• Course materials
• Company documents
• Media archives

Some supported operations may read or stream file data through your WordPress server when required for preview, download, or another requested action.

Module Builder

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

✅ Free Modules

• Photo Gallery: Display images from a selected Drive folder in a responsive gallery.
• File List: Display files and folders as a structured document or download list.
• Embed Document: Embed supported Docs, Sheets, Slides, PDFs, images, media, and other files in WordPress.

✅ DriveHub Pro Modules

• File Browser: Let users browse configured files and folders from the frontend.
• File Uploader: Allow visitors or logged-in users to upload files to a selected Drive folder.
• Media Player: Play supported audio and video files stored in Drive.
• Search Box: Let visitors search supported Google Drive files and folders from the frontend.
• Slider Carousel: Display supported Google Drive images and media in a responsive slider or carousel.

✅ Insert Modules Anywhere

Create a module once and reuse it across your WordPress website.

Insert supported DriveHub modules using:

• Gutenberg
• Elementor
• Divi
• Classic Editor / TinyMCE
• Shortcodes
