Google drive direct download link generator

Notes

Make sure your file's visibility in Google Drive is set to "Anyone with the link".
This only works for uploaded files, not documents created in Google Docs/Sheets/Slides.
If your file is very large, the direct link may first open a page saying that the file is too large for Google to scan for viruses. That page will have a button to download the file.
