Lets say I have a video file on GoogleDrive and I'd like to share it with you guys here on the forum. Instead of having to first download the video to my desktop and then upload it to a filehost service like zippyshare/gofile/etc to generate a sharing url, is there a way to send the file directly from Google Drive to the file hosting service?
Constraints: a) No GoogleDrive desktop sync, the file in question must live in the cloud. b) Cannot generate a GoogleDrive sharing url/link of the file for the purpose of posting it to the forum for the users to directly click. The idea is that the file stored in GoogleDrive can be freely shared without being linked back to Drive and putting the account at risk.
Flexible: a) You can choose the filehosting service, especially if it has specific features that allow the workflow to be succesful. If your solution is universal, even better!
My computer illiterate thoughts: This sounds like its going to require apis and shit - fuck. Are services like Multifilemirror helpful at all?
The motivation behind this question is that I want to share more content on this forum. All my files are stored in GoogleDrive so if I could skip the download step it would be a huge time saver and I could spend more effort posting/sharing/re-uping broken links. I know what I'm asking for is very doable but I don't carry any of the neccessary skills. If someone could help me I'd really appreciate it. In return, I can offer lots of cloud storage space by creating a Shared Drive for you to access (basically unlimited storage space) - or idk maybe you'd want to implement a similar workflow as me so developing it would be a win-win! And I'm sure there's others on the forum who would appreciate a similar tool so let's make this idea happen!! also, apologies in advance if I used any terminology incorrectly, I'm really really bad at technical stuff. Thanks!!
