It looks like the “Shareable link” from Google Drive basically gives a link to open a page for either viewing or downloading a file, rather than a direct link to download the file.
In my testing, when setting the “Shareable link” from Google drive as the URL for a downloadable WooCommerce product with “Force Download”, after purchasing and then downloading the file, it is either an “open” or “view” file, which seems to contain an HTML page which opens up to provide a link to download the file from Google drive.
Are you seeing something similar?
Hello.
In the settings of the downloaded products, there is a redirect to the page to view the file, which can be further downloaded.
I need a forced download. But I do not have a forced download, the file does not download.
Downloading a file in an unknown format that weighs kilobytes. It does not open in a separate window; it is force downloads.
In the file settings on Google Drive, there is access for everyone who has a link.
I would be glad if you can help.
