Gmail send attachment from Drive

[ilan]

I want to send a drive file (pdf) by email attachment via gmail - I think i need a public direct download link. All the tests I've run so far give me a html file which is probably the gdrive OAuth screen.

I've made the file public but still no dice.

Any suggestions?

Works fine for me after I re-authenticate gmail for Send With Attachment Action, can you try that?

One more thing, after setting file as public URL i am also using this site to generate direct link and placing that link in attachment link in pabbly connect - https://www.gdirect.link/

I reauthenticated, what is the link I should put in the attachment url?
https://drive.google.com/file/d/{DocID}/view?usp=sharing is the share link, I probably need some direct download link

https://drive.google.com/uc?export=download&id={FileId}

Right, I found that online, just wanted to know if I can keep the filename intact while sending (this method gives a uc.pdf file in the attachment).

Change "uc" in url before ? in url and try

I tried that, that doesn't work unfortunately.
