Why Google Drive
Familiar storage, civic-grade delivery
Fits existing operationsUse a designated Workspace folder and the connection model that matches agency policy.
Handles large filesResumable, chunked uploads reduce failures for packets, presentations, and recordings.
No exposed Drive URLsWordPress proxy-streams authorized files so public sharing settings do not become the access boundary.
Feature set
A guided connection with protected defaults
The storage provider is configured once for the installation. Core encrypts secret values and each module stores files under a predictable, module-specific prefix.
Protected delivery
Downloads are streamed through WordPress after the owning module checks visibility. Residents never receive a permanent raw Drive URL.
- Service-account authentication
- OAuth connection flow
- Guided setup and folder selection
