Just click “Connect” and authorize! ### Do I need Google API credentials? No! With the new Cloudflare Worker option, you don’t need any credentials. Just click “Connect Google Drive”! ### Can I still use my own Google API credentials? Yes. The traditional authentication method still works for advanced users who want full control. ### How does the Cloudflare Worker work? The worker acts as a secure proxy between WordPress and Google. It stores OAuth secrets in Cloudflare’s secure environment, not in your WordPress database. ### Is my data secure with the worker? Yes. The worker uses Cloudflare’s secure infrastructure. Images download directly to your server. No data passes through third parties except the required Google API connections. ### Is there a limit to how many images I can import? No. There are no usage or import limits. ### Can I import images from shared folders? Yes. Any Google Drive folder you have access to works. ### What image formats are supported? JPG, JPEG, PNG, GIF, WebP, BMP, TIFF, TIF, SVG, ICO. ### Are images compressed during import? Optional compression is available for JPG, PNG, and WebP images. Quality adjustable from 50-95%. ### How are duplicates detected? MD5 file hashing. Same hash = duplicate file = skipped. ### What happens when I uninstall? You can choose to keep or delete all plugin data (settings, logs, import metadata). ### Does this work on multisite? Yes. Fully multisite compatible. ### What if I want to use my own Cloudflare Worker? You can deploy your own worker and configure the plugin to use it.
