Google Drive Iframe Embedding Tutorial

To embed a Google Drive file into a webpage, you need to use an Iframe. This is because Iframes allow you to embed content from another website into your own webpage.

You can get the Iframe code from the Google Drive sharing settings. Simply click on the "Get link" or "Share" button, and then click on the "Embed" option.

The Iframe code will be generated, and you can copy and paste it into your webpage. You can also customize the Iframe by adding parameters to the code, such as the file ID and the width and height of the Iframe.

When dealing with folders that require permission, things can get tricky. If a user hasn't logged in to any Google account, the frame will be blank.

The problem arises when users have multiple Google accounts active on their browser. If they're logged into an account without authorization to access the folder, they'll see a "You need permission" message with buttons to Request access or Switch accounts.

However, if they click on the Switch accounts button, the frame will blank out. This is because Google forbids embedding its login page in an IFRAME, via the X-Frame-Options header.

If the user logs into an account without proper permissions and later adds the authorized account, the embedded view will still show the "You need permission" message, unless the URL contains a Google Suite domain and the user is logged into that domain's account.

To avoid these issues, it's best to have users log in to the correct account before loading the page with the embedded folder. If the folder is in a Google Apps domain, you can add the domain to the URL. Otherwise, they must log in to the authorized account before any other.

Here's a quick rundown of the possible scenarios:
