Hello, I would like to create an automation that downloads a newly added photo to google has business. This could be downloaded from google drive or dropbox. Unfortunately, I have a problem with the links sent by these two platforms. None of these links are direct links to the file. Because of this, google my business is unable to download the file. Is there any way to fix this problem?

It is rather a matter of the url. Any address that is downloaded from google drive does not directly point to the file it wants to download. The addresses point to the html page which displays the picture and causes that the picture cannot be downloaded. Where can I find a direct link to a file in google drive?
