Direct download link for original Google docs

The trick of editing the direct download URL also works for original Google documents. This will be very useful if you want to give users the option to download Google Document as a read-only PDF file or Google Spreadsheet as an Excel XLS file.

Google Docs – Direct Download

Any document in your Google Drive has a URL like:

https://docs.google.com/document/d/DOC_FILE_ID/edit

Replace /edit is equal to /export?format=add the file format in which the document will be saved, and your download link should look like this:

https://docs.google.com/document/d/DOC_FILE_ID/export?format=pdf
https://docs.google.com/document/d/DOC_FILE_ID/export?format=doc

The above links will download Google documents in Word (.docx) and PDF formats. You can also change to txt, html, odt (OpenDocument) or epub format.

Google Slides – Download Link

Like Google Docs, the URL of presentations in Google Drive has the following format:

https://docs.google.com/presentation/d/PRESENTATION_ID/edit

The direct download links for Google Slides are slightly different than for Google Docs. Instead of, replace /edit is equal to /export/format where format can be pptx to load Google Slides as Microsoft Powerpoint or PDF file.

https://docs.google.com/presentation/d/PRESENTATION_ID/export/pdf
https://docs.google.com/presentation/d/PRESENTATION_ID/export/pptx

Download Google Slides as PNG file

With Google Slides, you can export your entire presentation as a PDF, or you can create links that download the slides as high-resolution PNG files.

All you need to do is add ?pageid=pPAGE_NUMBER to the URL. So if I load the 10th slide as a PNG file, the URL will be:

https://docs.google.com/presentation/d/FILE_ID/export/png?pageid=p10

Google Sheets – Export Links

Open Google Spreadsheet in Google Drive, put the sheet in Public (or share with Anyone with a link) and the url should look like:

https://docs.google.com/spreadsheets/d/SPREADSHEET_ID/edit

The direct download links for Google Sheets are similar to Google Docs, and sheets can be exported as PDF, Excel XLSX, and CSV files.

https://docs.google.com/spreadsheets/d/FILE_ID/export?format=xlsx
https://docs.google.com/spreadsheets/d/FILE_ID/export?format=pdf
https://docs.google.com/spreadsheets/d/FILE_ID/export?format=csv

Copy and create any shared Google Drive files of your own

Replace /edit is equal to /copy in the URL of any original Google Drive file, and anyone can click that link to quickly create their own copy of that file in their own Google Drive.

Link gốc:
https://docs.google.com/document/d/FILE_ID/edit

Link copy:
https://docs.google.com/document/d/FILE_ID/copy

Tips /copy Also works for Google Docs, Sheets, Slides and Google Scripts. More ?copyComments=true if you want the copied document to include comments from the original document. Put includeResolvedCommentsOnCopy = false to skip duplicating resolved comments and copyCollaborators = false to not share the copied document with the original collaborators.

You can also use it for Google Forms, but the form will only be copied to another user’s Google account if the form owner has granted access to the form.

Invite users when copying documents

If you add userstoinvite=email@domain.com to the copy URL, the Google user who is copying the document will be prompted to share the document with the specific Google account immediately after copying the document.

https://docs.google.com/document/d/FILE_ID/copy?userstoinvite=emailaddres

Google Drawings – Embed as an image

You can export Google Drawings as SVG, PNG, JPEG, or PDF files by replacing /edit Fort /export/FORMAT.

For example, if the URL of Google Drawing is:

https://docs.google.com/drawings/d/FILE_ID/edit

The direct link to download the drawing in a vector format like SVG or as a PDF file would be:

https://docs.google.com/drawings/d/FILE_ID/export/svg
https://docs.google.com/drawings/d/FILE_ID/export/pdf
https://docs.google.com/drawings/d/FILE_ID/export/jpg
