Google Drive Download Link Extractor

Get direct download link from any Google Drive sharable link. So you don't need to open Google Drive webpage to download the file.

Also it can help you to embed assets anywhere because the link you will extract from this library will directly download the assets without going to any middle-page.

Installation

It's very easy to use with composer. Run the following command -

composer require shahariaazam/gdrive-direct-download-link

It will add the package shahariaazam/gdrive-direct-download-link in your project.

Usage

Via Composer

<?php
use ShahariaAzam\GDriveLinkExtractor\GoogleDriveLink;

require "vendor/autoload.php";

$sharableURL = 'GOOGLE_DRIVE_SHARABLE_LINK';
$downloadLink = GoogleDriveLink::get($sharableURL);

Without Installation

It's a very tiny library. But if you don't want to install it. Here is the function that you can use.

<?php

function downloadLink($sharableLink)
{
    return preg_replace("/\/file\/d\/(.+)\/(.+)/", "/uc?export=download&id=$1", $sharableLink);
}

echo downloadLink('https://drive.google.com/file/d/FAKE_FILE_ID/view?usp=sharing');

Yes, it's that simple.

Note: I just made this as a composer package because I wanted to make it testable for future compatibility
