Frequently Asked Questions

1. How do I make my link public?

Open Google Drive, right-click the file, and select Share. Under 'General access', click the dropdown and change 'Restricted' to 'Anyone with the link'. If the file is private, the direct link will result in a 404 or login error.

2. Does this work for folders?

No, Google Drive's uc?export=download API only works for individual files. To share multiple files, compress them into a .ZIP or .RAR archive first.

3. Why do I get a "Virus Scan" warning?

Google cannot scan files larger than 100MB for viruses. For large files, a direct download may still require a manual click on a "Download anyway" page provided by Google.

4. Is there a limit to how many links I can generate?

Our tool has no limits, but Google Drive has its own bandwidth limits. If a file is downloaded thousands of times in a short period, Google may temporarily lock the link.

5. Can I use this for website images or videos?

Yes! Once generated, you can use this direct link in <img src=""> or <video> tags, making it a free hosting solution for small assets.
