About the generator

At some point, you may find yourself needing to share a file with someone, but don’t want to give them access to your entire Google Drive. In these situations, creating a direct download link is the best option. While manual URL editing can work in a pinch, it can be a tedious and time-consuming process, especially for those without coding experience.

We understand that not everyone may want to use a third-party tool for generating download links, and that’s why we offer this HTML code as a kindness to those who prefer a more manual approach. However, we strongly recommend using G-Drive Linker for generating Google Drive download links for a variety of reasons.

The code used on this page (HTML)

<input type=”text” id=”file-url” name=”file-url”><br><br>
<button onclick=”generateLink()”>Generate Download Link</button><br><br>
<p>Download Link:</p>
<textarea id=”download-link” rows=”4″ cols=”50″></textarea>

<script>
function generateLink() {
var fileUrl = document.getElementById(“file-url”).value;
var fileId;
var downloadLink;
if (fileUrl.includes(“/spreadsheets/d/”)) {
// Google Sheets file
fileId = fileUrl.substring(fileUrl.indexOf(“/spreadsheets/d/”) + 16, fileUrl.indexOf(“/edit”));
downloadLink = “https://docs.google.com/spreadsheets/d/” + fileId + “/export?format=xlsx”;
} else if (fileUrl.includes(“/document/d/”)) {
// Google Docs file
fileId = fileUrl.substring(fileUrl.indexOf(“/document/d/”) + 12, fileUrl.indexOf(“/edit”));
downloadLink = “https://docs.google.com/document/export?format=docx&id=” + fileId;
} else if (fileUrl.includes(“/presentation/d/”)) {
// Google Slides file
fileId = fileUrl.substring(fileUrl.indexOf(“/presentation/d/”) + 16, fileUrl.indexOf(“/edit”));
downloadLink = “https://docs.google.com/presentation/export?format=pptx&id=” + fileId;
} else if (fileUrl.includes(“/d/”)) {
// Google Drive file
fileId = fileUrl.substring(fileUrl.indexOf(“/d/”) + 3, fileUrl.indexOf(“/view”));
