The Apache 2.0 license is compatible with GPLv3, and as this plugin is licensed “GPL-2.0-or-later”, the combined work is compatible with and may be used under GPLv3 terms, though this plugin itself remains licensed under GPL-2.0-or-later. File type thumbnail icons are loaded from Google’s CDN (drive-thirdparty.googleusercontent. com) as a fallback when no local thumbnail is available. This is an image resource only — no executable code. Thumbnail requests may also proxy content through Google’s servers (googleapis.com, lh3.googleusercontent.com) when displaying file previews in the WordPress admin or frontend. ### Shortcodes Use the built-in Shortcode Builder to generate all parameters visually.
