Image and video gallery from Google Drive

How well this listing is tuned to rank in WordPress.org search, on the factors an owner controls. Not popularity, optimization.

Directory rank vs rivals

wp.org popularity rank over time · higher is better · when a rival's line climbs above yours, they've overtaken you

How often this plugin actually ships. A steady rhythm is the maintenance signal a single "last updated" date can't show.

Share of active installs on each version of this plugin · 93% run the current release. Green is the current release; a big slice on older versions is a user base that has stopped updating.

Refined from the date this plugin crossed into its current band.

No paid tier is visible, so we don't put a figure on revenue or sale value: that would be guessing. The install base is a real asset to an acquirer, just not one public data lets us price. A small install base leaves thin data to model from. The recent download trend is too spiky to read.

   This works great. It is a little nerdy getting it setup in Google – the key is making sure to ‘publish’ your app and not leave it in demo mode. I like that I can use the Google Drive app on my phone an have the images show up right away on my website. This is a fantastic replacement for Photonic users.

   This plugin is only for the specific country in which the plugin has been developed. Having said that, there is a complete lack of correct description of how to configure the plugin. Tried to translate to my language but just got an error after trying to create a google drive api. Without a correct description, this plugin is completely unusable. The link in the program to the documentation directs you to a page that has nothing at all! I’m working on finding another plugin now that might work with sensible explanations!

   Great plug-in but I get hit with an error every week or so. Rather than showing the photo gallery it’ll just say “unknown error” it isn’t too bad as I just have to revoke and re-grant access to google drive in the settings, but it can be annoying as I don’t want to be monitoring my site for when the error occurs. I would love feedback; if there’s anything I’m doing that’s causing this error to happen. Thanks, Andrew

   Easy to organize the gallery on the web. Just use your Google Disk.

   Yeah I couldn’t get it to work and all the documentation, is what seems to be, in Czech language and no english button anywhere to bee seen. This might be a really good app but if more people have the same problem I had we will never find out.
