Hi, I have a few questions

1. if I insert image from google drive through the plugin, it will NOT eat up my website server space right? Rather, it will use google drive's storage server?
2. consider this situation: I have folder structure My Drive > Folder 1 > subfolder 1 where i store images abc.png and xyz.png in the subfolder 1.
I then create a folder under My Drive for WP Media, and in that folder, I create a folder shortcut to subfolder 1.

Question is, will I be able to access subfolder 1 with the plugin? so that I won't have to copy abc.png and xyz.png into WP Media folder and store them as duplicates.

If can then I'll definitely get the plugin. Thanks!

1. Yes, with cloud files, we just index file information only, so it will not occupy your server space.
2. When connecting to Google Drive, it will generate a root folder on Google Drive.
Then its subcategories and files would be synced to Media library only.

Thanks a lot!
Best Regards,
