How to generate temporary download link for file with google drive api?

Question

I developed web-application to upload file to google drive and download from it with google drive. but if i am using webcontent link for donwload file from Google drive then anyone can share this link to other. so can anyone have solution for temporary or one-time download link for file download? or If the file downloaded by that link, then the link will be destroyed or not used anyway until a new link exist.

So is this possible with google drive api?

Answer 1

Currently there is no one time download link in Google drive. If you create a shareable link as you stated it will work forever. It cant be removed or disabled and it can be shared between users.

You might consider adding this as a feature request on the Issue forum

Anwser: No this is not possible with the Google drive api. Although i wonder if it isnt something you could do with in your web app and do a redirect type of thing. Its just an idea.
