How to get the absolute file path of a Google drive file as a url?
Is there any way to get the file path of a file in Google drive? Generally, google drive file url can be a sharing url. But what if we wanted to access the absolute file path? Something like:
drive.google.com/file/myvideo.mp4
And then I wanted to show the video file in a webpage using a video tag.
Google drive is taking too long to process a video file that I uploaded, so I cannot embed it on my website, so I thought maybe accessing the file path will do the trick :)
So how to get something like above url?
Thanks for helping.
Edit:
Found it! Now I can get the absolute file path of any file in my drive. Follow the steps:
1- Open:
https://drive.google.com/us?id=yourfileid
Where yourfileid is file id
2- load and copy the URL at the page
3- that's it, it's the absolute file path URL
