New 2022 Solution: Yes, you can! After a lot of fiddling I got it working. You can input a gdrive url for JW to upload, and even bypassing the virus scan popup.

How:

When you want to upload to JW via the API, use “fetch” method as you normally would. This is will be the format for the “download_url”:

Format: googleapis.com/drive/v3/files/FILEID?alt=media&key=APIKEY

Example: googleapis.com/drive/v3/files/acedkgjasd23hgsad?alt=media&key=yusx01plasdpyyyjasudf

The ?alt=media tells google that you are downloading this file. The API key is required for downloads 100mb+ (to bypass virus scan popup). The API key can be created in your Google Console by creating a new project, enabling google drive API (under API & Services), go to the project credentials and create a new api key.

  1. You can use WordPress Plugin and Play With Video.js & JW Player Style (Skin)
  2. Shortcodes

Just provide this link as MP4 source :

http://docs.google.com/uc?id=VIDEO_ID

The VIDEO_ID itself is found in the part of your link as shown below:

https://drive.google.com/file/d/VIDEO_ID/view

(in your case VIDEO_ID begins "0BxqS" and ends with "xbEU")

Edit : (make sure you specify type: "mp4" so JW Player knows the data type).

jwplayer("player").setup ({

file:   "https://docs.google.com/uc?id=0BzIpsk3FR4R1NjlnTWVDOHB2MTQ",
type:   "mp4",
width:  640,
height: 360, 

});
