Drive Downloads Lite connects WooCommerce with Google Drive so you can turn your Drive files and folders into product downloads in just a few clicks.

Instead of copying and pasting long sharing URLs, you get a clear “Choose from Google Drive” button inside the WooCommerce product editor. You pick a folder or file with the official Google picker and the plugin automatically fills the WooCommerce “File URL” field for you.

Google Drive API Setup Video

Follow this step-by-step video to create and configure the Google Drive API credentials required by Drive Downloads Lite:

The Lite version is designed to be simple, safe and fast:

  • Uses your own Google Cloud project and OAuth credentials.
  • Works with folders/files that you already share (for example “Anyone with the link can view”).
  • Does not change sharing permissions or file contents in Google Drive.
  • Does not grant or revoke access per order – it only helps you link existing Drive content to products.

You stay in full control of your Drive. The plugin simply saves time and reduces mistakes when turning those Drive links into WooCommerce downloads.

Main benefits

  • Faster product setup – visually pick Drive items instead of copying and pasting URLs.
  • Fewer broken links – URLs come directly from the Google Drive picker.
  • Clean admin UI that matches the Pro edition, so upgrading later is seamless.
  • Lightweight – no extra database tables, no front-end scripts; everything runs in the WooCommerce admin.

Typical use cases

  • Simple digital products (PDFs, ZIPs, templates, audio, video, etc.).
  • Shared resource libraries where all customers access the same Drive folder.
  • Stores that already manage visibility in Google Drive and only need a better way to connect files to WooCommerce products.

Lite vs Pro

Drive Downloads Lite focuses on quick, public (or already-shared) download links.
Drive Downloads Pro adds full access control on top of the same integration.

What you get in Lite (this plugin)

  • Connect WooCommerce to Google Drive using OAuth.
  • Google Drive picker inside the product editor.
  • “Choose from Google Drive” button next to the WooCommerce download fields.
  • Automatic insertion of the selected folder/file URL into “File URL”.
  • Optional default download name per product or globally.
  • No changes to Google Drive permissions – you manage those directly in Drive.

What you get in Drive Downloads Pro (paid upgrade)

  • Automatic Google Drive access when an order is completed.
  • Safe access revocation for cancelled, refunded, failed, deleted or expired-download orders.
  • More reliable Google Drive operations with automatic retries.
  • Protection against duplicate permissions and incorrect access revocations.
  • Full WooCommerce Subscriptions support, including pause, restore, renewal, cancellation and expiration workflows.
  • Let customers use a Google email address different from their billing email.
  • Automatic customer emails when Google Drive access is ready.
  • Connect and manage multiple Google Drive accounts from one WordPress installation.
  • Select and assign multiple files or folders in a single Google Drive Picker session.
  • Operations dashboard for pending, completed and failed tasks, with manual retry controls.
  • Private customer-only access, public links and Gmail-only access rules.
  • View, comment or edit permission levels with download, copy and re-sharing restrictions.
  • Improved protection for OAuth credentials, tokens and Google Drive permissions.
  • Detailed activity logs and WooCommerce order notes.
  • Priority support, ongoing updates and new features.

Start with the free Lite version to validate your workflow and upgrade to Pro at any time to add automated, private access control:

Drive Downloads Pro

External services

This plugin connects your WooCommerce store with Google Drive using your own app in Google Cloud Console.

You will need to:

  • Create a Google Cloud project.
  • Create OAuth 2.0 credentials (Client ID and Client Secret).
  • Create an API key for the Google Picker.

These are configured on the plugin settings page, following the documentation provided here:

Documentation

Through your own Google app, the plugin:

  • Lets you sign in with your Google account (OAuth) to link your Drive.
  • Shows the Google Drive picker so you can choose folders or files.
  • Reads basic information about your Drive user (name, email address and profile photo link).
  • Reads metadata for the selected Drive items (IDs, names, URLs, mime types, etc.) so it can insert the correct URL into the WooCommerce download field and show the connection status in the admin.

The plugin does not upload your files to other servers and does not send data to any third party other than Google’s APIs used for this purpose.
The Lite version does not change your Google Drive sharing settings or file contents; it only reads the information needed to build download URLs and display the connection in your dashboard.

Please review Google’s own terms and privacy information here:

  • Google APIs Terms of Service
  • Google Privacy Policy

Does this plugin make my Google Drive content private per customer?

No. The Lite version only helps you select Google Drive folders/files and insert their URLs into WooCommerce downloads. It does not manage individual user permissions or per-order access.

If you need automatic grant/revoke of access per order, private links or more advanced control, you will need the Pro version: Drive Downloads Pro

Are the links public or private?

The plugin does not force any sharing mode by itself. It uses the share URL returned by Google Drive and you remain in control of how each folder or file is shared.

For a simple “Lite” setup, you typically configure your Drive items as “Anyone with the link can view” and then use those URLs as WooCommerce downloads.

Does the plugin upload or host my files?

No. Files stay in your Google Drive account. The plugin only works with URLs and the Google Drive API.

What data does the plugin store?

The plugin stores in your WordPress database:

  • Google OAuth tokens (access / refresh tokens).
  • Your Google Client ID / Client Secret / API key.
  • The selected Google Drive URLs linked to each product.

Access tokens and secrets are stored as WordPress options and may be additionally encrypted using PHP’s encryption functions when available (libsodium or OpenSSL). No file contents are copied into your WordPress site.

Is this plugin GDPR compliant?

The plugin itself does not create new customer fields. It uses the existing WooCommerce order and customer data and works with Google Drive through their API.

As with any site that processes personal data, you should:

  • Review Google’s privacy terms.
  • Document the use of Google Drive in your privacy policy.
  • Ensure you have an appropriate legal basis for processing data.

Can I use it without WooCommerce?

No. This plugin is built specifically for WooCommerce downloadable products and requires WooCommerce to be active.

Does it work on multisite?

The plugin is designed to work on standard single-site and basic multisite setups. Each site manages its own Google connection and settings.
