Google Drive Direct Download Link Generator

A Google Drive Direct Link Generator is a handy tool that allows you to create direct download links for files stored in Google Drive. Instead of opening a preview of the file within Google Drive, a direct link immediately initiates the file download. Here’s how it works:

1. Get Your Sharing URL:
   
   • Go to Google Drive and right-click on the file you want to share.
   • Click on “Share.”
   • In the window that appears, change the access to “Anyone with the link.”
   • Click “Copy link.”
2. Generate the Direct Link:
   
   • Using the below Google Drive Direct Link Generator.
   • Paste the copied link into the “Enter your sharing URL” box.
   • Click “Generate Direct Link.”
3. Enjoy the Direct Download:
   
   • The tool extracts the file ID from your sharing URL.
   • It then creates a new URL that looks like this: 1(https://drive.google.com/uc?export=download&id=FILEID).
   • This new URL prompts Google Drive to serve the file directly as a download, bypassing unnecessary web pages or previews.

Remember to set your file’s visibility in Google Drive to “Anyone with the link” for this to work effectively. Note that this method applies to uploaded files, not documents created in Google Docs, Sheets, or Slides.
