Keep the parent folder restricted; solely the individual asset needs public status. If you revise the graphic, commit the new version with the unchanged title and choose ”Replace” so the direct link never breaks—no broken embeds later.
Substitute /file/d/ along with all text past the following slash with /uc?export=download&id=; the string between those two slashes serves as the file ID. Drop the new URL into whatever browser tab–zero sign-in, no preview page, the binary downloads immediately.
Drop in the file ID in https://drive.google.com/uc?export=download&id=1Ab2Cd3Ef4Gh5Ij6Kl7Mn8Op9Qr0StUvW with your personal string and tack on &confirm=t to dodge the virus-scan page; this single tweak turns any shareable address into a one-click download.
Bulk-transform hundreds of addresses in under 60 seconds: paste the spreadsheet column into =”https://drive.google.com/uc?export=download&id=” & MID(A1,34,33), pull the formula down, then copy-paste values–zero code, no limits, no login.
Hot-link protection is inactive by default, so embed the rewritten URL in , CSS background:url(), or Markdown image tags; the file pipes at full bandwidth and won’t trigger the viewer overlay that forces users to press ”Download”.
Flip a Google Drive Shareable URL to a Direct Download Link in 30 Seconds
Swap /file/d/ with /uc?id= and delete everything after the file ID.
Original shareable address:
https://drive.google.com/file/d/1aB2cD3eF4gH5iJ6kL7mN8oP9qR0sT1uV/view?usp=sharing
Direct address:
https://drive.google.com/uc?id=1aB2cD3eF4gH5iJ6kL7mN8oP9qR0sT1uV
Append &export=download to skip the virus-scan page:
https://drive.google.com/uc?id=1aB2cD3eF4gH5iJ6kL7mN8oP9qR0sT1uV&export=download
Mass-morph dozens at once: drop the shareable strings into any text editor, run a regex find/replace pattern https://drive\.google\.com/file/d/([a-zA-Z0-9_-]+)/.* → https://drive.google.com/uc?id=$1&export=download. Works in VS Code.
File larger than 100 MB? Tack &confirm=t to kill the oversized warning.
Grab the finished string into an tag or a QR encoder; no sign-in required for the recipient.
Bypass Google Drive Viewer: Force Files to Download Direct to Disk
Switch /view or /edit in the shareable URL with /uc?export=download and strip every parameter after the file ID. The resulting string looks like:
https://drive.google.com/uc?export=download&id=1AbC2dEfG3hIjKl4MnOpQrStUvWxYz5aB
Paste it into any browser or wget/curl statement; the binary flows immediately without the preview page.
Oversized items (> 100 MB) trigger a virus-scan wall. Stick &confirm=t to dodge the prompt:
https://drive.google.com/uc?export=download&confirm=t&id=1AbC2dEfG3hIjKl4MnOpQrStUvWxYz5aB
Directories cannot be fetched this way; process each file ID one by one.
Mass operations: list every ID in a text file and run
while IFS= read -r id; do wget -O ”$id.bin” ”https://drive.google.com/uc?export=download&confirm=t&id=$id”; done out.push([
file.getName(),
’https://drive.google.com/uc?export=download&id=’ + file.pullId()
]));
f.getFolders().forEach(folder => crawl(folder))
crawl(folder);
return ContentService.createTextOutput(JSON.stringify(out)).setMimeType(ContentService.MimeType.JSON);
Quota watch: the Colab route burns ~2 % of your daily UrlFetch calls per 1 000 files; Apps Script uses 1 query per file–stay under 20 000 by chunking folder lists into 1 000-row pages with pageToken.
Store the Button Image in Drive and Set Public Viewer Access
Upload the 320×132 px graphic into a directory named ”pay-assets”, secondary-click it → ”Permissions” → ”Switch to Viewer for all” → Can view. Snag the file ID from the address bar (the chunk after /file/d/ and before /view). Slot it into https://drive.google.com/uc?export=view&id=YOUR_ID—this direct URL renders the graphic minus the toolbar and works in all newsletter.
