Image and video gallery from Google Drive

77 Quality Score

Active Installs

16/30

With 4,000 active installs it is a niche plugin, not a mainstream gallery tool, which is why popularity is the weakest component of the score.

Update Freshness

25/25

Updated on May 19, 2026 and tested against WordPress 7.0, the maintenance signal is as fresh as it gets and earns a full score in this category.

User Rating

13/15

An 86 out of 100 from 39 reviewers is a strong approval rating, though the small sample size means it should be read with some caution.

Support Health

8/15

Only 1 support thread on record with a 0.0% resolution rate is a real concern, even if the codebase appears stable.

WP Compatibility

15/15

Requires PHP 5.6 and WordPress 4.9.6, so it will run on almost any host still in use today, which explains the perfect compatibility score.

What It Does

Image and video gallery from Google Drive connects a WordPress site to a Google Drive folder and pulls images and videos from it to display as a gallery on the front end. It removes the need to upload media files to the WordPress media library, using Google Drive as the storage and delivery backend. This is useful for anyone who already organizes large amounts of visual content in Drive.

Who It's For

This plugin fits photographers, nonprofits, wedding and event shooters, and small businesses that already rely on Google Drive for storing and sharing large image and video collections. It is also a good fit for travel blogs, course creators, and family sites where the owner wants gallery updates without logging into WordPress each time. If your team collaborates in Drive, this lets you keep using it as the single source of truth.

Who Should Skip It

If you do not already use Google Drive to manage your media, or if you want advanced gallery features like proofing, client favourites, masonry layouts, or selling prints, this plugin will feel too limited. Sites that need WooCommerce integration, advanced sliders, or large scale e-commerce galleries should look at a full featured gallery plugin instead.

The Bottom Line

This is a focused, well maintained solution for a very specific workflow: managing media in Google Drive and embedding it on a WordPress site. The 4,000 installs, near perfect maintenance signals, and strong 86/100 rating make it a credible choice, but the 0% support resolution rate and the lack of advanced gallery features mean it is not for everyone. If Drive is your content hub and you want a low maintenance bridge to WordPress, it is worth a serious look.
