Description

The Google Drive add-on connects Download Monitor to your Google Drive account, hosting files directly in the Google cloud and serving downloads through WordPress without taking up space on the hosting server. The extension syncs Drive files as plugin downloads, keeping access control, click tracking, and statistics under Download Monitor’s native management.
