Hi Shafayat! Can you help me with this? I don’t know if it is a plugin issue or Google Drive…
Thanks!
I am also experiencing the same issue. I am able to access the google drive and select the file and connect to WPDM
When I try to test the download it returns
Bad Request
Error 400
Any help or guidance would be appreciated
TIA
Same here, I think a recent update broke it? The URL is malformed, the GUID for the file is ok
Rightyo, here’s how to fix it …
wp-content/plugins/wpdm-google-drive/src/picker.php – line 92, I left the old version commented out
//var downloadurl = 'https://docs.google.com/uc?authuser=0&id='+id+'&export=download';
var downloadurl = 'https://drive.google.com/open?id='+id;
After you change this you neeed to re-edit the download to re-establish the corrected link.

Thanks @cadbloke
What do you mean with “re-edit”? Edit something and save changes in the download post?
@cadbloke I tried you solution and worked, but it shares the download link (not direct download). I don’t want to share the link because I need my suscribers to visit my web. I hope Shafayat can help us or maybe have to wait for the next update.
Thanks!

Control-J in your browser will show them the link the download is coming from. You can’t really hide the link unless it is always a temporary generated link but even then with Fiddler you can see where the file comes from. Google drive generated a temporary 333 character URL when it does my download – that is what this plugin really needs to return.
By the way, my edit does not break any obfuscation – there was none to start with.
“Re-edit” means you need to re-link the file in the post and save it again so the link is regenerated.
Many thanks to @cadbloke for the fix!
It worked fine for me. Perhaps it will be addressed in the next update.
I see that you also enjoy sailing.
May time and tide be with you…..
We have fixed the issue; an update is coming on 1st July 2019.
