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.

Dan's Viewer for Google Drive

Nice work integrating Google Drive with WordPress, the best I tested so far. I would give it 5 stars if it had translation support, which for me is mandatory in 2016.
