you have do something along this lines ..

go to your Google API console and there create or use existing project ( https://console.developers.google.com/apis/credentials )
add Google Drive API
then generate your key
and then you can target URL's with this URL structure: https://www.googleapis.com/drive/v3/files/file_id?key=your_key&alt=media

Thanks it is working. but above site is using other method. that site generate url like this https://doc-0o-a0-docs.googleusercontent.com and your method generates https://www.googleapis.com url. – Jimmy Lancstar Aug 04 '17 at 16:40
kresimir pendic can you tell me which php code used this site to generate link ?? https://links-safety.com/download.php?id=0B475ByfcR9n4a1JMVEZxQno2Tmc – Jimmy Lancstar Aug 05 '17 at 16:16
Or a simpler method without API keys, make a POST request. https://stackoverflow.com/a/47625446/661872 – Lawrence Cherone Dec 04 '17 at 02:27
