  Now, Your direct download link is ready. Just try both google drive file address one by one.

2. Direct link for Documents

 The number 1 tutorial works only for files but not with documents So, Follow the below tutorial to make a direct link of Google drive's Documents files. For example purpose, I have created an imaginary file id or address 

   *  When, You upload your documents to drive, then your documents address will be looks like below,

       
 https://docs.google.com/document/d/63yQrjZluBYzVjVHI2UzUw/edit?usp=sharing

Goolge is the variety of many features . So,  you can download the documents in others extensions also such as 'doc', 'pdf', 'odt',  'Html', 'Text'  also.

So, How can you do this ?. You just replace pdf (at the end of link) from the above modified direct link with the extensions name like, 'doc', 'pdf', 'odt',  'html', 'text'.

For Example : 

   Your documents direct link is below, 

https://docs.google.com/document/d/63yQrjZluBYzVjVHI2UzUw/export?format=pdf

 https://docs.google.com/document/d/63yQrjZluBYzVjVHI2UzUw/export?format=text

If, I want to download my file as odt, then my direct link will be,

https://docs.google.com/document/d/63yQrjZluBYzVjVHI2UzUw/export?format=odt
