Luckily, there is a much easier, and faster, way that does allow for shareable URLS for any file/folder, including Docs, Sheets and Slides.Ībove I explained how to complete this task on your own, now I am going to show you how easy it can be with a third-party application, G-Drive Linker. And, this is rather time consuming when you have a bunch of files you need converted over. This will only work with files not Google Docs, Slides, Presentations, Sheets or Folders. The not so good side about doing it yourself… Now when your customer or family member clicks on the link they will be directed to the file itself and not Google Drive default user interface. You then specify which file (the file ID) that you are going to be controlling, and then finally finish it off by telling Google what you are going to be doing with the file ‘export=download’. The ‘uc’ stands for ‘User Control’, in which you are telling Google that the User will be Controlling what is to be done with the file. How this works is by telling Google, via a URL, what to do with the file instead of previewing it. You will now need to change your URL to the following: 1rRwZ-819_SBkjYNClAOpj_mhlYViMUtH/view?usp=sharing In the example above, the ID number is in red: To alter this into a direct link you will need to change quite a bit.įirst, you will need to look at the ID number of the file. Your Sharable URL should look something like this: I suggest Notepad as it will be easy to see and edit without creating a clickable link. When you have your Google Drive Sharable Link copied you will need to paste the link somewhere so you can edit it. Now comes the methods of converting this link to a direct download. In the new window, make sure that the link is available for ‘Anyone with the link’.Right Click on your file and select ‘Get Link’.There are many reasons why creating a direct link to a file is useful, and luckily there is an easy way to do this. Second, from a personal stand point, being able to send a file and not have to worry about if the receiver can figure out how to download it is a major plus. If I send a customer a link to their product, I expect that when they click on that link that the file will be downloaded, not previewed. I am sorry, but I personally run a ‘keep it simple’ mentality when it comes to my business. This causes extra confusion and an extra step to obtain that the customers need to figure out just to obtain their file. It is even worse when the file the customer is downloading is not even downloaded right away, instead it is first previewed by Google Drive. They click on the Google Drive link and are greeted with this (image to the right).įirst off, from a business stand point, it is very unprofessional when your customers have to be redirected from your page to Google Drive. Assuming /content/res.png is image path and /content/drive/My Drive/Delete is destination.Īlternate option is write image in colab and copy to drive using !cp "/content/res.png" "/content/drive/My Drive/Delete" after drive mount.There are some people that use Google Drive as a gateway to larger files for their clients (like we do), or sometimes you just want an easy way to send someone a file. # Save ImageĬv2.imwrite('/content/drive/My Drive/Delete/res.png', rgb_img) This will save the image to folder named Delete in Google Drive. Path to save in drive can be found easily by clicking files on left side, navigating to folder and right click to choose Copy path. Generate Random Image and show import cv2įrom import cv2_imshow
Easy way to save is to mount google drive and provide path to the folder in drive where files need to be saved.
