Having the photos in Google Drive also gives you a familiar and easy-to-navigate UI for gallery management. On top of that, if you ever decide to move or reinstall your site, simply install this plugin again on the new site and your old galleries will still be there and working.
It may also save you costs for your site hosting, as the big files of the gallery are not stored as part of your site. This enables your site to load faster as the images are loaded from Google and not from your hosting provider. Any folders and their subfolders will also be displayed in the gallery as nested galleries.Īll the data is sourced from Google Drive with nothing but the plugin configuration being a part of your website. With this plugin, you can select any folder in your Drive or a Shared drive and the plugin will convert it into a gallery, displaying any photos or videos in a page or a post on your website. Image and video gallery from Google Drive is a plugin for WordPress that connects your site to your Google Drive.
