Direct Download Link

How to Generate Direct links of Google Drive, Dropbox files

If we are unable to send more than 10MB, 20 MB and More data through email by Outlook or Gmail. In our daily working environment some of us would want to share the direct links for the files, so that any user can initiate the download just by clicking that hyperlink.

Note: You can't create direct download URLs for the folders you have in Google drive and Onedrive. Instead, you can compress the folders as .rar or .zip archive and you can create direct URLs for those files.

1. Google Drive
2. Dropbox
3. Onedrive (Skydrive)
