Set Sharing Permissions
In the sharing dialog, make sure to change the access from "Restricted" to "Anyone with the link". This is crucial - without this setting, the direct download won't work for others.

❓ Google Drive Direct Download FAQ
What exactly is a direct download link?
Instead of opening Google Drive's preview page first, a direct link starts downloading your file right away. Super handy if you're building a website, using download managers, or just want to skip that extra step.
Is this safe? Should I be worried?
Not at all! We're just changing how the URL looks - think of it like reformatting an address. Your files stay exactly where they are, and we never see or touch them. Everything happens right in your browser.
My link isn't working - what's going wrong?
Usually it's a sharing issue. Double-check that your file is set to "Anyone with the link can view" in Google Drive. Also make sure you're copying the full sharing link (it should start with https://drive.google.com/file/d/).
What about really big files?
Go for it! Our tool doesn't care about file size. Just heads up - Google Drive gets a bit paranoid with files over 100MB and might show a "can't scan for viruses" warning. People will need to click through that, but the download will work fine.
Do the links expire?
The direct links work as long as the original Google Drive file remains shared and accessible. If you change the sharing settings or delete the file, the direct link will stop working.
Can I use this commercially?
Yes, this tool is free to use for personal and commercial purposes. However, make sure you comply with Google Drive's terms of service for your specific use case.
