DriveHub vs Integrate Google Drive vs Ninja Drive vs Integration for Google Drive (2026)
Which is the best Google Drive plugin for WordPress?
Short answer: Only DriveHub and Ninja Drive can still be installed from WordPress.org: Integrate Google Drive was closed in January 2026 and CodeConfig’s Integration for Google Drive in April 2026, both for guideline violations. Between those two, DriveHub is the one whose free version includes role-based access control and multiple Google accounts, which Ninja Drive charges Pro for. Choose Integrate Google Drive or Ninja Drive if you need WPForms, Gravity Forms, Tutor LMS or Easy Digital Downloads uploads today, because DriveHub lists those as planned and has not shipped them. Choose CodeConfig’s Integration for Google Drive if you want WooCommerce and Media Library support without paying. DriveHub and Ninja Drive were both listed within the last two months, and neither has any public reviews yet.
- Pick DriveHub if you want it free from WordPress.org and actively maintained, and you want access control without paying. Free covers role and password restrictions, multiple Google accounts and signed expiring links.
- Pick Integrate Google Drive if you need form, LMS or e-commerce uploads today and you are willing to install from outside the directory. It ships WPForms, Gravity, Fluent, Tutor LMS and EDD now; DriveHub lists those as planned. Its listing has been closed since January 27, 2026.
- Pick Ninja Drive if you want those same integrations from a plugin that is still on WordPress.org. It ships WooCommerce, EDD, Tutor LMS and five form integrations on Pro, and its free tier includes a frontend file browser that DriveHub charges for. It has no public reviews yet.
- Pick Integration for Google Drive (CodeConfig) if you want WooCommerce and Media Library support in the free version. Its WordPress.org listing was closed on April 8, 2026 for a Guideline Violation, so the free build now comes from the vendor and GitHub rather than the directory.
Integrate Google Drive, the most-reviewed Google Drive plugin in the WordPress directory, has been closed on WordPress.org since January 27, 2026, with the reason given as a Guideline Violation. CodeConfig's Integration for Google Drive was closed on April 8, 2026 for the same reason. Both are still sold from their vendors' own websites, but neither can be installed or updated through WordPress.org while the listings stay closed.
Where DriveHub loses: it was listed on July 13, 2026, so it has no public reviews at all; its form, LMS and e-commerce integrations are announced but not yet shipped, while Integrate Google Drive and Ninja Drive both ship theirs today; and at exactly two sites Integrate Google Drive is cheaper, because DriveHub has no 2-site plan. All figures below were checked against each vendor's own listing and checkout on .

Frequently Asked Questions
Which is the best Google Drive plugin for WordPress?
Only DriveHub and Ninja Drive can still be installed from WordPress.org: Integrate Google Drive was closed in January 2026 and CodeConfig’s Integration for Google Drive in April 2026, both for guideline violations. Between those two, DriveHub is the one whose free version includes role-based access control and multiple Google accounts, which Ninja Drive charges Pro for. Choose Integrate Google Drive or Ninja Drive if you need WPForms, Gravity Forms, Tutor LMS or Easy Digital Downloads uploads today. Choose CodeConfig’s Integration for Google Drive if you want WooCommerce and Media Library support without paying. There is no single winner: the right pick depends on whether you need integrations today, how much you want in the free tier, and whether installing from the WordPress.org directory matters to you.
Why are Integrate Google Drive and Integration for Google Drive not on WordPress.org any more?
Both listings were closed for a Guideline Violation: Integrate Google Drive on January 27, 2026, and CodeConfig's Integration for Google Drive on April 8, 2026. WordPress.org gives no further detail in either case. Both are still sold and supported from their vendors' own sites, and CodeConfig also publishes its free build on GitHub. What you cannot do is install or update either through the WordPress.org directory while the listings stay closed. If either is reinstated, this page will be updated.
Should I worry about the old Integrate Google Drive security vulnerability?
CVE-2024-2086 was a broken access control flaw affecting versions up to and including 1.3.8, and SoftLab patched it in 1.3.9 back in 2024. It is not a live risk on a current, updated install, and we are not going to pretend otherwise. It is worth knowing about only as history, in the same way any plugin's past CVEs are.
DriveHub has no reviews at all. Why would I trust it?
You should weigh that honestly, and it is worth knowing that nothing on this page has much of a track record. DriveHub was listed on WordPress.org on July 13, 2026 and has no reviews. Ninja Drive was listed on June 8, 2026 and has none either. CodeConfig's Integration for Google Drive has two. Only Integrate Google Drive has a real body of feedback, at 117 reviews, and its listing is closed. If a long track record is what matters most to you, none of these four is a comfortable answer. DriveHub is free to install, so the cheapest way to judge it is ten minutes on one site rather than taking our word for it.
Does DriveHub work with WPForms, Gravity Forms or Tutor LMS?
Not yet. DriveHub's readme lists WPForms, Gravity Forms, Fluent Forms, Formidable Forms, Ninja Forms, Elementor Forms, MetForm, Dokan, Easy Digital Downloads, Advanced Custom Fields and Tutor LMS as planned integrations that are in development and not available in the current release. Contact Form 7 uploads work today in the free version, and WooCommerce works in Pro. If you need any of the others right now, both Integrate Google Drive and Ninja Drive already ship them, and either is the better buy for you today.
Is DriveHub always the cheapest?
No, and it is not sold as such. At one site DriveHub is $39 a year, against $39 for Integrate Google Drive, $39.99 for CodeConfig's Integration for Google Drive and $49.99 for Ninja Drive. At exactly two sites Integrate Google Drive and Integration for Google Drive are both cheaper, because they sell 2-site plans and DriveHub's next tier up is the 5-site plan at $99. Prices move, so check each vendor's own checkout before you buy.
Do any of these let me use my own Google app instead of the vendor's?
DriveHub, Integrate Google Drive and Ninja Drive all document a manual mode where you supply your own Google OAuth client ID and secret, so your Drive token stays inside your own Google Cloud project rather than the vendor's. Ninja Drive puts it under Settings then Own App. CodeConfig does not document one. This is a real thing to care about, but it is not a point of difference between the three that offer it.
Can I move to DriveHub from another Drive plugin?
Yes, and you can do it without downtime. DriveHub does not copy files to your server, so nothing has to be migrated: your files never left Google Drive. Install DriveHub alongside your current plugin, connect the same Google account, rebuild your galleries or file lists as DriveHub modules, then swap the shortcode or block on the pages that used the old plugin and deactivate it.
