L47 Audio Player for Google Drive allows you to embed audio files hosted on Google Drive directly into WordPress posts and pages using a simple shortcode.
The plugin connects to the Google Drive API v3 to retrieve and stream the audio file. A built-in server-side download proxy is included so that your API Key is never exposed to visitors — download links are generated by your own WordPress server.
<h3>Features</h3>
<ul>
<li>Custom audio player with dark mode support (glassmorphism skin).</li>
<li>Shortcode-based: <code>[l47ap_audio id="FILE_ID"]</code>.</li>
<li>Configurable download button: proxy (recommended), direct Google Drive link, or disabled.</li>
<li>Fallback to native Google Drive player (iframe) if the audio stream is unavailable.</li>
<li>Settings panel to configure your API Key, player skin, timeout, and custom CSS.</li>
<li>Assets (CSS/JS) are only loaded on pages where the shortcode is used.</li>
</ul>
<h3>External Services</h3>
This plugin connects to the Google Drive API, a third-party external service provided by Google LLC.
What is it and what is it used for? 
The Google Drive API v3 is used to:
<ol>
<li>Retrieve audio file metadata (file name, MIME type) for the file ID specified in the shortcode.</li>
<li>Stream the audio file content to the visitor’s browser for playback.</li>
<li>Serve secure file downloads via a server-side proxy (when the proxy download mode is enabled in the settings).</li>
</ol>
What data is sent and when? 
The following data is sent to Google’s servers whenever a visitor loads a page containing the <code>[l47ap_audio]</code> shortcode and the audio is played or a proxy download is triggered:
<ul>
<li>The Google Drive File ID (a non-personal, public identifier that you provide in the shortcode).</li>
<li>Your Google Drive API Key (sent server-to-server only; never exposed to front-end visitors when using proxy mode).</li>
<li>A <code>Referer</code> HTTP header containing your site’s home URL.</li>
</ul>
No visitor personal data (IP address, cookies, user accounts, etc.) is sent to Google by this plugin.

L47 Audio Player for Google Drive

Shortcode-based audio player for WordPress that streams files from a public Google Drive folder via the Google Drive API v3.

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
<ul>
<li>
Displays public drive document listings in a mobile friendly format
</li>
<li>
Offers both View and Download Options, where appropriate
</li>
<li>
Offers Export Option for Google Docs / Sheets / Presentations
</li>
<li>
All options are configured via shortcode
</li>
<li>
Allows drill down / up within folders without leaving the page
</li>
<li>
Ability to store and use unlimited Google Drive Folders
</li>
</ul>
Shortcodes:

</li>
<li>
Optional Attributes Ex:<code>[dandrive drive=1 divid=mydrive height=400 width=300 rbutton=no]</code>
</li>
<li>
drive= (number of the drive you want, defaults to 1 if not entered)
</li>
<li>
divid= (id of the div your calendar is stored in, for custom theming. Defaults to random string to allow multiple per page)
</li>
<li>
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).
</li>
<li>
width = (maximum width in pixels, defaults to 400. Enter a number only)
</li>
<li>
rbutton = (no means don’t display return to initial folder button. Omit to display (default behaviour))

</ul>

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.
