Then, continue to learn how to connect all folders to the Google drive. 2. after creating the Google application that generates the client id\/ secret API key, you must generate the API key to connect the WordPress site to the Google drive. Unfortunately, Google makes it a little more complicated to grant WordPress access to files on Google drives. This will protect the security of Google drive information and make it inaccessible to third parties, so it’s good, but there are a few additional steps. The
