Displaying files (e.g. images) stored in Google Drive on a website

Question

I was wondering if its possible to access/display files like images which are stored in Google Drive on a public website.

Answer 1

A workaround is to get the fileId with Google Drive SDK API and then using this Url:

https://drive.google.com/uc?export=view&id={fileId}

That will be a permanent link to your file in Google Drive (image or anything else).

Note: this link seems to be subject to quotas. So not ideal for public/massive sharing.

Answer 2

Here's the simple view link:

https://drive.google.com/uc?id=FILE_ID 

e.g. https://drive.google.com/uc?id=0B9o1MNFt5ld1N3k1cm9tVnZxQjg

You can do the same for other file types, e.g. MP3, PDF, etc.
