The media module integrates with Google drive for storage. If your company currently has a Google Drive Business account, we can use that, or we can setup an account for you.
With Google Drive Integration, theres 2 ways to do it…
OPTION 1 – Public view only permissions
- GDrive media folder can only be updated/modified by the Gmail account.
- Handle uses the encrypted google token to authenticate as this user server side.
- The READ-ONLY web link (unique per file) is available without any authentication.
- Meaning you copy/paste it and access from anywhere and share it if you like.
- The READ_ONLY web link is potentially accessible to anyone using web crawlers or scanners.
- It’s unlikely but possible, an image or audio file web link could be found and accessed online.
OPTION 2 – Authenticated view only permissions
- GDrive media folder can only be updated/modified by the Gmail account.
- Handle uses the encrypted google token to authenticate as this user server side.
- Specific permissions can be set and require authentication with Google every time the media web link is accessed.
