Include DriveUploader API for collecting files directly to a web app
Are you building an app that should allow users to send large files via an intuitive tool? On the other side is the need of receiving files into Google Drive without a prolonged administration?
DriveUploader will help you to solve this task. The integration into your web app is fast and easy. You can generate an iFrame, or work with JS API and webhooks for more advanced functions.
Embedded iFrame
Don’t be limited with the way you like to build your apps. If you build your web using content management systems (CMS) like WordPress, Joomla, Drupal, Blogger and others.
For this use case, we’ve prepared an iFrame embedding. Just copy&paste the HTML code, that you will get after creating an uploader via the DriveUploader user interface. The code looks like this:
The component is responsive and fills the whole area of the iFrame.
Configure also notifications email and webhooks triggered after each upload. You can find it in the admin section of the service.
JavaScript API and webhooks
If you need more advanced customisation of the uploader, you can use JavaScript API. You can ask users for additional information, filter received files or include a link to uploaded files into emails. Our JavaScript API is perfect for this.
Once your Uploader is used in your app, information about uploading can be passed to your backend using the POST webhook. This allows you to set up notifications for all new incoming files and use other automated processes.
DriveUploader is a secure way to share files
The DriveUploader component is more secure for submitting files than using email conversation. Even for confidential documents. We used HTTPS and your data are stored directly to your Google Drive account.
This all is very simple for users. They just visit your web page or app and drag&drop their files into your web component. DriveUploader doesn’t limit the number of files, their size or format. The only limit is the free space on your G Drive.
