Turn Google Drive files into direct links for Sheetany templates
When building a website with Sheetany, you often need to embed files like audio, video, PDF, or downloadable resources. However, the default Google Drive share links are not direct links and usually do not work well with podcast players, video templates, or download pages.
That is why Sheetany introduced Google Drive Direct Link Generator, a free tool that helps you convert Google Drive sharing links into direct file links in seconds.

What is a Google Drive direct link
A direct link points straight to the original file stored on Google Drive. When using a direct link, your file can be:
- Played directly as audio or video
- Embedded into website templates
- Downloaded instantly
- Used in podcast players or video components
In contrast, a normal Google Drive sharing link sends users to a preview page, which often breaks embeds or prevents proper rendering.
How Google Drive Direct Link Generator works
The workflow is simple and fast:
- Paste your Google Drive sharing link
- The tool converts it into a direct link automatically
- Copy the result and use it anywhere in Sheetany
No login required. No setup. Completely free.
Supported file types
Google Drive Direct Link Generator supports most common file formats, including:
- Audio files like mp3 for podcasts
- Video files like mp4 for courses or landing pages
- PDF files for ebooks, guides, and documents
- Downloadable files such as zip, doc, or spreadsheet files
As long as your file access is set to anyone with the link, it will work.
