Czech language and incomprehensible description.

By Ketil Ervik (ketil) on July 26, 2024

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 plugin

By jasperscheper on February 27, 2024

This is a great plugin, saved me a lot of time!

Worked well

Worked as described

Great plug-in but hit with same error often

By andyparsons1412 on April 19, 2023

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

Great plugin

By drspot on February 7, 2023

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

Great!

By ed777vs on November 17, 2022

Works great! Just follow instructions and you will be fine. Thank you developers for this plugin. So far so good!

Simply Amazing - Recommended

By srinivas08 on October 14, 2022

The gallery missing shows up every month, and I have to save the options again to fix the issue. Can you check this issue pls ?

Hmmm

By onegard on July 12, 2022

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.

Best and only way to realise this feature

By semideum on January 30, 2022

It need some bugs to fix and work faster, i think this idea should prefer video gallery, not image. For images galleries we got tonns of plugins, but for hosting videos via google disk - nothing at all.

Neustále zobrazování neznámé chyby

By michaelrydl on January 8, 2022

Dobrý den, používám tento plugin na osobních stránkách, ale bohužel se mi stále děje to, že mi plugin vyhazuje pravidelně třeba po týdnu neznámou chybu. Když plugin odinstaluji a nainstaluji znovu, tak vše funguje jak má, ale po době zmíněné výše, z ničeho nic mi zase vyskočí text Neznámá chyba. Plugin tím pádem musím prakticky pořád přeinstalovávat. Rád bych se zeptal, jestli Vás napadá, čím to může být způsobeno? Děkuji. Michael Rýdl
