Swap out the file ID in https://drive.google.com/uc?export=download&id=1Ab2Cd3Ef4Gh5Ij6Kl7Mn8Op9Qr0StUvW with your own string and tack on &confirm=t to skip the virus-scan page; this one tweak morphs any shareable address into a one-click download. Mass-convert 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 dump values–no scripts, no quotas, no login. Hot-link protection is disabled by default, so embed the rewritten URL in , CSS background:url(), or Markdown image tags; the file flows at full bandwidth and won’t trigger the viewer overlay that pushes users to press "Download". Flip a Google Drive Shareable URL to a Direct Download Link in thirty Seconds Switch /file/d/ with /uc?id= and strip everything after the file ID. Initial shareable address: https://drive.google.com/file/d/1aB2cD3eF4gH5iJ6kL7mN8oP9qR0sT1uV/view?usp=sharing Direct address: https://drive.google.com/uc?id=1aB2cD3eF4gH5iJ6kL7mN8oP9qR0sT1uV Add &export=download to dodge the virus-scan page: https://drive.google.com/uc?id=1aB2cD3eF4gH5iJ6kL7mN8oP9qR0sT1uV&export=download Bulk-flip 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. Functions in Notepad++. File larger than 100 MB? Append &confirm=t to mute the oversized warning. Copy the finished string into an tag or a QR encoder; zero auth required for the recipient. Skip Google Drive Viewer: Force Files to Download Right to Disk Replace /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 Feed it into any browser or wget/curl statement; the binary pipes immediately without the preview page.

Oversized items (> 100 MB) trigger a virus-scan wall. Tack &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([ item.grabLabel(), 'https://drive.google.com/uc?export=download&id=' + file.getId() ])); 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.

Display Drive Photos and PDFs on Any Website Without Login Prompts

Replace the standard /file/d/FILE_ID/view segment with /uc?id=FILE_ID&export=download and drop the resulting URL into an or tag–no cookie check is triggered, so visitors never see a sign-in box.

Harvest postings: export the last 90 days of postings on LinkedIn, AngelList, RemoteOK. Filter by 0–2 y.o. experience, keep only roles with ≤15 applicants. Sort by "posted 24 h ago". The 3 most repeated 4-word phrases are your micro-niches. Gauge pool: paste each phrase into Google with site:linkedin.com/jobs. A viable niche returns 30–80 open roles worldwide. Below 30 → budget cuts; above 80 → Sprint 2 (level-2): Preact + Google Auth; cap at 120 lines JSX. Use react-snap direct Link generator for Google Drive static export; Lighthouse ≥ 93 or retry.

Insist every teacher, from kindergarten up, to publish at least one CC-licensed DIY tutorial per year on GitHub under an MIT license. Hook promotion and tenure decisions to the number of clones and pull requests the repo pulls. Finland’s teacher union inked the clause in 2021; since then, hardware lesson repos penned by educators have been copied 47 000 times, saving districts an estimated €1.3 million in proprietary kit purchases and speeding up experiment replication across 19 countries.
