# Excellent plugin for a specific workflow

 * I’m giving 4WP Drive 5 stars because, for my workflow, it is currently the only
   plugin I have found that does exactly what I need: importing an article together
   with its images while preserving the original image filenames.
 * I use it actively, and overall I’m very satisfied with it.
 * For future users, I would just like to mention two things I discovered during
   regular use:
    - New folders added to `incoming` do not always appear immediately. In my case,
      clearing the WordPress/cache makes them visible.
    - DOCX files containing tables may be parsed incorrectly in Preview. If this
      happens, removing the table before import solves the issue. After the article
      is imported, the table can be inserted back into Gutenberg manually.
 * These are not reasons for me to lower the rating. I’m mentioning them simply 
   so other users know what they may encounter and do not have to spend hours diagnosing
   the cause.
 * For my specific requirements, 4WP Drive is an extremely useful plugin, and I’m
   happy to continue using it.
 * These issues were encountered while using version 1.5.0.

 * Thank you for the 5-star review and for taking the time to share what you found
   in daily use.
 * Every user’s feedback matters to us – including potential users – so our products
   keep getting better and help people reach their goals.
 * New folders under `incoming/`
   We ran into this early while rolling out and actively
   using the plugin on MediaPress and other media properties. We tightened sync 
   checks and added the manual Sync control in the top-right of Incoming, but refresh
   can still feel slow because of Google Drive API rate limits (reasonable protection
   against overload).
 * We also built a tree-style view of the Drive layout for a clearer, more practical
   workflow. We were ready to ship it (tested in 1.5.8), including on MediaPress
   and Enterprise pipelines, but load testing against large source file trees exposed
   performance issues. We postponed that release and are optimizing it now for an
   upcoming 1.6 line.
 * DOCX files with tables in Preview
   Not every standard core block is recognized
   cleanly yet. Each release we expand what we parse, and Patterns let you define
   custom mappings – but that path is still not always ideal. If you can share a
   Google Drive link to one sample file that includes a table, we will reproduce
   it and prepare a fix.
 * Thank you again for the rating and for using 4WP Drive in production. 
   The solution
   is not perfect, but it already works in real day-to-day use – and notes like 
   yours are exactly how it improves.
