Dan’s Viewer for Google Drive was created when I was looking for a way to share files via Google Drive on my sites, in a way that allowed downloading, viewing, exporting, and hardest to find, the ability drill down into subfolders without leaving the site. I couldn’t find anything within my price range that fit what I needed, so I decided to create my own.
Dan’s Viewer for Google Drive displays files in a way that is mobile friendly, customizable via shortcode, and easy to style. No need to import files or manage them directly in WordPress. All you need is a public Google Drive Folder (or multiple!) and a free, easy to get API key.
Features
Displays public drive document listings in a mobile friendly format
Offers both View and Download Options, where appropriate
Offers Export Option for Google Docs / Sheets / Presentations
All options are configured via shortcode
Allows drill down / up within folders without leaving the page
Ability to store and use unlimited Google Drive Folders
Shortcodes:
Default Display [dandrive] (defaults to 1st drive)
Optional Attributes Ex:[dandrive drive=1 divid=mydrive height=400 width=300 rbutton=no]
drive= (number of the drive you want, defaults to 1 if not entered)
divid= (id of the div your calendar is stored in, for custom theming. Defaults to random string to allow multiple per page)
height= (maximum height in pixels, defaults to auto. If this is set, a scroll bar will appear if your div overflows. Enter a number only).
width = (maximum width in pixels, defaults to 400. Enter a number only)
rbutton = (no means don’t display return to initial folder button. Omit to display (default behaviour))
