DriveLinkGen - Video Introduction
Important Note
Make sure your file's visibility in Google Drive is set to "Anyone with the link". If it's set to "Restricted", only people who are logged in to Google and have been granted access will be able to open the direct link (which probably isn't what you want).
This only works for uploaded files, not documents created in Google Docs/Sheets/Slides.
If your file is very large, the direct link may first open a page saying that the file is too large for Google to scan for viruses. That page will have a button to download the file.
Bulk Google Drive Direct Links Generation Note
For bulk generation of Google Drive Direct Links, make sure to place your links in the first row of the CSV file.
