How to make the file shareable using google drive api

Question

I am trying to get the file using google drive api, by default the file is not shareable i want to make it shareable.

Here is my code:-

Answer 1

The Quickest way to obtain the preview of the file would be to append /preview at the end of Alternate link.

Like so https://drive.google.com/file/d/0B2Tb9btqdPGHeDl2NU5mYXRIaGc/preview

You can then share that link to others.

Found this here when i was testing out api requests on the drive api.
