Quickstart

Get your first file upload widget live in under 5 minutes — no backend required.

1. Create a free account

Sign up at drivewidget.com/register. No credit card needed.

2. Connect your Google Drive

Go to Dashboard → New Connection and choose one of:

• OAuth (Recommended) — Sign in with your Google account and pick a folder
• Service Account — For advanced setups (Google Workspace admins)
• DriveWidget Storage — We host your files, zero setup

Once connected, every file uploaded through your widget lands in that Drive folder automatically.

3. Create a widget

From the dashboard, click your connection → Create Widget. Give it a name and copy the embed snippet.

4. Embed it

Paste one line of HTML anywhere on your site:

<script src="https://drivewidget.com/widget.js"
        data-widget-id="YOUR_WIDGET_ID">
</script>

That's it. Visitors can now upload files directly into your Google Drive — no Google account needed on their end.

5. Or share a link

Every widget also has a standalone upload page at:

https://drivewidget.com/u/YOUR_SLUG

Share it via email, QR code, or embed in a button.
