Regex to modify Google Drive shared file URL

Question

I\'m trying to create a script to convert a regular google drive share URL to a direct download URL. The raw URL looks like this:

https://drive.google.com/file/d         


        

Answer 1

This works in PCRE, in regex101:

• Find what: ^(https:\/\/drive\.google\.com\/)file\/d\/([^\/]+)\/.*$
• Replace with: $1uc?export=download&id=$2
• Try it: http://regex101.com/r/dX1zD2
