Right-click the document inside the shared folder, select Share → Copy link → Public, flip the permission to View-only, copy the link, drop it into Discord or Coda—boom. No archives, no one-day timeouts, no attachment limits.

Source share link Raw render URL

Glue ?alt=media to trigger a raw download instead of the viewer frame; this preserves local paths intact for assets stored in the identical folder.

4. Scale (6 min): convert Google Drive link to direct link bullets into a 3-step checklist. Keep verbs in active voice. Example: "Add ngrok to pre-commit hook," "Slack infra for clone," "Mute Slack #general during focus block." Stick checklist at top of next sprint board.

Ditch the generic "About Me" page with a 38-second elevator deck: slide 1 is a single-sentence value proposition, panel two flashes three metrics (GitHub commits, fellowship impact, grade swing), slide 3 embeds a 12-second screen recording of your live-refresh loop, fourth card lists three micro-certificates and serial codes, the fifth is a bar chart of signup surge you engineered, sixth gives a Calendly link, slide 7 ends with a QR code to your secrets gateway. Recruiters at next season career fairs spent median 38 s on portfolios that followed this sequence; interview invitations spiked 2.7× versus narrative-based sites.

Should you want a whole mini-site, compress the main folder (CSS, JS, images ) into a one-shot ZIP, push it, capture its ID the matching way, and supply it to https://drive.google.com/uc?export=download&id=. Tack on /index.html at the finish to lock the entry point; relative paths keep intact, so navigation operates with zero editing a single href.

Trap the raw sentence on your phone the instant it surfaces; memory edits out the rasp in the throat that later proves the emotion. Transcribe, then kill every word that predates the prop–no back-story, no "I remember." Leave only the present-tense invitation. Read aloud: if you exhale halfway through, the cadence is right.

Write 50-Word Case Slides That Force Clicks Lead with a metric: "+42 % sign-ups in 72 h." Follow with just one action: " Tweaked hero copy." End with a ten-word CTA: "See the exact Google Doc–no gate." Export slide as 1:1 PNG, upload to LinkedIn carousel, tag the company, watch recruiter DMs spike 3×.

Quota: one-gig repo size, 100k MB transfer/month, 10 builds/hour–enough for twenty-thousand unique hits on a lightweight site. Exceed it, compress images with tinypng.com and lazy-load below-the-fold pics using loading="lazy".

Hotlink CSS, JS, and Image Assets with Direct Links

Substitute every uc?id=FILE_ID address with https://drive.usercontent.google.com/download?id=FILE_ID&export=view&authuser=0 to skip the 404 that appears after the first hundred hits. Load CSS ahead of any tailor-made rule: . Cache-bust with &cache=123 glued to the same URL; increment the number when you push a revised sheet. Pull JavaScript without MIME drama: . Add defer so the parser won’t block; stay under the script below 10 MB or the server returns 413. Graphics: request the web-view URL, then trade open? for uc? and append &export=view. A 1920×1080 JPEG shrinks from 3.2 MB to 800 KB when you run it through jpegoptim -s -q 85 before upload; this cuts the lighthouse LCP score. Embed SVG icons: drop the uc? URL into the omnibar, copy the raw XML, and embed it directly; this nukes one round-trip and keeps the icon pixel-perfect on retina displays. Prefetch critical assets in the : . Chrome prioritizes such hints above level-three images, trimming first paint by 200 ms on 3G. Verify CORS: the domain drive.usercontent.google.com fires Access-Control-Allow-Origin: *, so fetch calls from your page sail with no proxy hacks. Quota wall: one folder can deliver ~2 TB per day; exceed it and all assets bounce back 403 until the next UTC midnight. Spread heavy binaries across multiple folders or duplicate them on a second account. Multi-Device & Browser Smoke Test Open the public share link in Win Chrome 124, Safari 17 on macOS 14, Firefox ESR 115, Edge 124, and Samsung 23. Snap each render with about://version screenshots. Probe viewport width 320 px on iPhone SE, 390 px on iPhone 14, 412 px on Pixel 7, and 768 px on iPad Air. Flip each handset to 90°; ensure no horizontal overflow. Paste document.documentElement.clientWidth in mobile DevTools console to lock breakpoints. Measure touch targets: poke every button with a 48 × 48 px stylus; record missed hits. Simulate 3G in Chrome DevTools, shoot for Largest Contentful Paint <2.5 s. Use BrowserStack live session for OnePlus 11 on Android 14; record video at 60 fps, scan for frame drops during 300 ms CSS transition. Drop navigator.userAgent output into a CSV to craft a device matrix. Run axe-core 4.9 via Chrome extension; patch any contrast ratio below 4.5:1. On Safari, turn on VoiceOver and navigate with rotor; ensure focus order matches visual layout. Record screen-reader speech rate at 70 % speed; save transcript for comparison. Wrap test by killing all cloud accounts to prevent cached credentials from skewing next cycle. Swap Drive URLs After Revisions Overwrite the old revision in place of uploading a duplicate; the public URL keeps identical and the embed refreshes within 5 min.

Hit the existing item → right-click → "Manage versions" → "Upload new version". Select the updated build; check "Keep original file name" to avoid path drift. Hang on for the check-mark icon; reload the live page–no link surgery required.

If you already cloned the asset and now have two objects:

Trash the obsolete one; the shareable URI dies with it. Grab the new URI, switch it in every and . tack on ?cachebust= to force CDN refresh on external sites.

Snippets that use /file/d/ID/view can be flipped to /uc?id=ID&export=download to skip the viewer wrapper and spit raw markup. Schedule an hourly cron that curls the direct URL; grep for "404"; if detected, trigger a webhook to your repo to auto-commit the new ID—no manual tweaks.
