Hi there,

If you have a file hosted on Google Drive at https://drive.google.com/file/d/[file ID], you can get a direct download link for it at https://drive.google.com/uc?export=download&id=[file ID]

You can also find websites which do this conversion for you, like this one.

Hope that helps!

It’s just the part of the URL after file/d/, but before the next ‘/’ character…
So in https://drive.google.com/file/d/XXXX/view, the file ID is XXXX.

Make sure the URL you’re taking the file ID from says /file/ and not /folder/!

The code :
