Embed a Google Drive folder in an iframe with folder navigation and file previews.<\/p>\n\n

Features:<\/strong>\n- Embed any public Google Drive folder\n- Navigate into subfolders without leaving the page\n- Customize iframe height and width\n- Optionally disable download buttons\n- Clean and simple shortcode<\/p>\n\n

Usage:<\/strong><\/p>\n\n

Once installed, use the shortcode like this:\n [cfembedfolder folder=\"YOUR_FOLDER_ID\" width=\"100%\" height=\"600px\" allowdownloads=\"no\"]<\/p>\n\n

Make sure the folder is shared publicly.<\/p>\n\n

External services<\/h3>\n\n

This plugin relies on a 3rd party service to render the Google Drive folder navigation and preview interface.<\/p>\n\n

    \n
  • Service:<\/strong> https:\/\/wpgoogledriveembedder.collegefam.com<\/li>\n
  • Purpose:<\/strong> This service acts as a specialized viewer that renders Google Drive folder contents with enhanced navigation and file preview capabilities within an iframe.<\/li>\n
  • Data Sent:<\/strong> The Google Drive Folder ID provided in the shortcode and the user's preference for allowing downloads are passed to this service via URL query parameters. No personal user data or WordPress site data is transmitted from your WordPress server to this service.<\/li>\n
  • Terms & Privacy:<\/strong> \n\n
      \n
    • Service Terms & Privacy Policy: https:\/\/collegefam.com\/privacy-policy-and-terms-of-service-for-user-friendly-embedder-for-google-drive\/<\/li>\n<\/ul><\/li>\n<\/ul>\n\n\n

        \n

        Make sure you're using folder=\"FOLDER_ID\"<\/code> in your shortcode, not positional parameters.<\/p><\/dd>\n

        Why is the folder not showing?<\/h3><\/dt>\n

        The folder must be shared publicly on Google Drive.<\/p><\/dd>\n

        How to disable downloads?<\/h3><\/dt>\n

        Add allowdownloads=\"no\"<\/code> to your shortcode.<\/p><\/dd>\n\n<\/dl>\n\n\n
