Turn Google Drive share links into direct MP4/MOV URLs for VLC, Infuse, and nPlayer — no backend, no installs, just deploy and go.
Google Drive share links (drive.google.com/file/d/…) don't work directly in media players. This tool converts them into stream-ready URLs you can paste straight into VLC, Infuse, nPlayer, or any app that accepts direct links.
Everything runs in your browser. There's no server, no account, and nothing to install.
- Deploy the service on Vercel
- Paste your Google Drive share URL
- Copy the generated direct link
- Open it in your media player of choice
| App | Platform | Status |
|---|---|---|
| VLC | iOS, Android, Desktop | ✅ |
| Infuse | iOS, tvOS, macOS | ✅ |
| nPlayer | iOS, Android | ✅ |
| Any direct-link player | — | ✅ |
The parser supports common Google Drive + Google Docs URL shapes and extracts either the FILE_ID (or FOLDER_ID for folder links):
// Standard share/view
https://drive.google.com/file/d/FILE_ID/view?usp=sharing
https://drive.google.com/file/d/FILE_ID/view
https://drive.google.com/open?id=FILE_ID
// Direct download

FILE_ID
- The file must be set to "Anyone with the link can view" in Google Drive sharing settings
- The file must be an MP4 (or other direct-playable format)
The tool extracts the file ID from your share URL and constructs a drive.google.com/uc?export=download&id=FILE_ID link, which Google Drive serves as a direct download/stream endpoint compatible with media players.
- Large files (>100MB) may hit Google's virus-scan confirmation page. Some players handle this automatically; others may not.
- Links are not permanent — if the file owner changes permissions or deletes the file, the link will stop working.
- This tool does not upload, store, or transmit your URLs anywhere.
