System Requirements

To ensure the plugin runs smoothly, your hosting environment should meet these minimum standards:

• WordPress Version: 5.8 or higher (Recommended: Latest stable version).

• PHP Version: 8.0+ (Fully compatible with PHP 8.3; beta support for 8.4).

• PHP Extensions: cURL extension must be enabled (used for API communication).

• Browser Support: All modern browsers (Chrome, Firefox, Safari, Edge).

• SSL Certificate: Highly recommended (and often required by Google) for secure OAuth 2.0 authentication.

Key Technical Features

The plugin operates as a “window” to your Google Drive, meaning files are never stored on your WordPress server.

1. File Management & Display

• Front-end File Browser: Users can navigate folders, search, and download files directly from your site.

• Direct Uploads: Bypasses PHP upload_max_filesize limits by streaming files directly from the user’s browser to Google Drive.

• Inline Previews: Supports PDF, Office documents (via Google Viewer), images, and text files.

• Full-Text Search: Allows users to search for files not just by name, but by content stored within the documents on Drive.

2. Media Streaming

• Video Player: HTML5-based player supporting .mp4, .m4v, .webm, and .ogv.

• Audio Player: Built-in player for .mp3, .wav, and .m4a with playlist support.

• Image Galleries: Automatically generates grids or carousels from Drive folders with lightbox support.

3. Permissions & Security

• OAuth 2.0: Secure authorization that doesn’t require storing your Google password.

• User Folder Mapping: Automatically creates “Private Folders” for WordPress users, ensuring User A cannot see User B’s files.

• Role-Based Access: Granular control over who can upload, delete, rename, or download files based on WordPress User Roles.
