So ...

Head over to create a new post/page or edit an existing one ...

If you click the good old "Add Media" button, you'll see the following screen:


The "Import from Google Drive" button will launch the Google Picker pop-up window allowing you to browse all your Google Drive files and folders. Select the targeted files by clicking on them, then click the "Select" button and the plugin will now import those files and store them into your Wordpress media library.

More than that, if you are running a multi-user site, other users will also be able to import files from their own Google Drive accounts.

And there's a cherry on the top: the files are actually imported into your media library, so deactivating the plugin in the future will not affect the files already imported.

Cool, isn't it?

And that's it my friends!

Another excellent idea. Thank you for the detailed instructions. Can't wait to give it a try. I do have 2 questions. They are kind of related to each other.

1. Where do I look to find out how fast or slow the app is working for my WordPress? You posted 2 pictures for the performance.

2. Is the performance or speed slower if I add another application(s) in addition to Google drive such as cloud storage and/or drop box?

Thank you for putting this together!!! You come up with amazing ideas.

No, the plugin load is the same regardless of your connected storage platforms

This is something I like to dive into, thanks, you can upload from Google drive, but can you also upload the complete media library to Google drive with this plugin?
