Google Drive - File Direct Download URL Trick

When you publicly share a file on google drive it's URL will be look like below:

https://drive.google.com/file/d/14NV9kfJ819t-uP5NHfsQpi4tgTP3dzOi/view?usp=sharing

When you open above URL, It will open default google drive preview screen with download button.

If you want to skip this preview screen and want to create direct file download URL then you can use below URL:

https://drive.google.com/uc?export=download&id=DRIVE_FILE_ID

Here you have to replace DRIVE_FILE_ID with your actual file id.

For example in above demo link, DRIVE_FILE_ID: 14NV9kfJ819t-uP5NHfsQpi4tgTP3dzOi

So your direct file download link will look like below:

https://drive.google.com/uc?export=download&id=14NV9kfJ819t-uP5NHfsQpi4tgTP3dzOi

You can use this URL in Links Library module for direct file downloading.
