How to get the file ID so I can perform a download of a file from Google Drive API on Android?

Question

I am working on an Android project and I am trying to make use of the Google Drive API and I\'ve got most of it working but I am having an issue in how I perform a download.

Answer 1

In my opinion the easiest and fastest way to get a Google Drive file ID is from Google Drive on the web. Right-click the file name and select Get shareable link. The last part of the link is the file ID. Then you can cancel the sharing.
