Google Drive Direct Link Generator

Instantly convert Google Drive links into direct download URLs with this handy extension.

Google Drive Direct Download Link Tool

The 'Google Drive Direct Link Generator' is a Chrome extension designed to streamline the process of creating direct download URLs for files stored on Google Drive. By copying the Google Drive file link and pasting it into the extension's input field, users receive a direct download link that can be shared with others. This tool is perfect for those looking to bypass the Google Drive viewer and offer clean, quick downloads. It's important to note that the links generated are for files set with appropriate sharing permissions, and this utility does not support Google Drive folders or files from Google Workspace apps like Docs, Sheets, or Slides.
