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.

Note: Imported files from a remote services become a permanent file and changes made to the file on the service won’t reflect on the site. You would have to re-import the file using External Media plugin.
The plugin won’t upload the same file twice, instead it will check if the file already exists in your WordPress site and re-use it.
