Server Addon Google Drive

Server Addon: Google Drive

Description

Files shared from Google Drive.

When to choose it: Occasional files — a PDF outline, a recording — you already keep in Drive.

How to Access

Components → Proclaim → Servers → New, then choose Google Drive in the server type picker.

Note

The server type cannot be changed after the server is created. To switch platforms later, create a new server and move media across with Administration → Server Migration.

Set Up the Server

No API key is required.

1. Name the server and Save & Close.

Important

Google Drive embeds only work on publicly shared files. In Drive, set link sharing to Anyone with the link can view, or visitors will see nothing.

Add a Media File

1. Paste the Drive share link. Drive files, Docs, Sheets and Slides all work.
2. Save & Close.

No credentials needed

This addon has no API key or OAuth level. Paste a URL and it works.

Display settings shared by every addon

Every server type also carries the same block of display settings — player choice, popup behaviour, the media button's text, colour, icon and size, and the image shown beside it. They work the same way whichever addon you pick, and are documented on Help-server and Help-mediafile.
