Google Drive webContentLink does not support CORS when file is public
问题 The webContentLink is supposed to be a direct link to the file represented by the fileResource. Let's first ignore the fact that the link will infact always respond with a 302 pointing to a generated downloadUrl (which has a very finite life-time). I understand that the resource pointed to by webContentLink uses cookie-based authentication and CORS would pose a security risk, however the documentation explicitly states that no authentication is needed when the file in question is public
