Tags and Google Drive integration

Hi,

Thanks for contacting us here about this extension.

Is it possible to manage file download permissions based on tags, regardless of the file category? For example, I would like to make all files with the tag "catalog" publicly accessible, even if they belong to different categories.

For the first inquiry, currently, our plugin doesn't support managing file download permissions based on tags across different categories.
You can display files within a specific category or use the shortcode generator to showcase the latest uploads, file sizes, and more.

Regarding the Google Drive integration, can clients keep their files on Google Drive and make them accessible/downloadable based on the permissions set in WP File Download? Or do they need to import the files into the system for them to be available?

Regarding the Google Drive integration, once you successfully connect your Google Drive account to the WP File Download plugin,
your files and folders within the designated root folder will be synced to the plugin.
This means you won’t need to import the files into the system; they will be accessible based on the permissions set in the plugin.

Thanks you.
As confirmation, it will not physically import files into my wordpress hosting, I'll just access and download them from google drive, correct?

Thanks

Indeed, our system is designed to store your actual files securely on cloud servers while only maintaining essential file information on your local server.
This approach optimizes both storage efficiency and accessibility.
