Download Monitor Google Drive

Hosting files on your own server adds storage and load, and sharing raw Google Drive links gives you little say over who opens them. This extension connects the two. You keep your files in Google Drive and present them through Download Monitor, so visitors use your site instead of landing on a Drive page.

It detects Google Drive sharing URLs and converts them into direct download links. From there you can see who viewed and downloaded each file, receive an email when someone downloads, and change access or content in a data room without resending links. It fits digital libraries, marketing files and confidential client materials.

Features

• Google Drive files in Download Monitor: Use files you already keep in Google Drive as downloadable items inside Download Monitor, so you do not need separate file hosting for them.
• Automatic URL detection: The extension recognizes Google Drive sharing URLs and turns them into direct download links, so visitors download through your site.
• Download tracking: See who has viewed and downloaded each file, which gives you a clearer picture of customer engagement and download behavior.
• Email notifications: Receive an email whenever someone downloads a file, so you can follow up with that person promptly.
• Dynamic access control: Change file access and content inside secure data rooms without resending links, which helps with sensitive or time-limited documents.
• Role-based restrictions: When used together with Advanced Access Manager, you can restrict downloads by user role and tailor who can reach each file.
• Offloaded file hosting: Serve files from Google Drive to reduce the storage and server load on your own WordPress hosting.
• Branded download experience: White-label your downloads so users stay in your branded environment instead of interacting with Google Drive directly.
