Sorry for my poor knowledge about it. I would appreciate if anybody could explainme how can I create a custom download link for a google drive file. I got a domain in freenom.com and I want to change the download link of a google drive file to use my domain name in the url
What I’m try to do is avoid the final url docs.googleusercontent.com/docs/... using a custom link with my domain.
Is that possible?
I know it sound crazy but in my workplace they block docs.google url with a proxy filter and others cloud services like multcloud.com and koofr.eu too. Beside using proxy web or vpn is very suspect for they.
So I need a way to download my files with my own url without lifting suspicions trace.
I know is a nightmare but you never wish to live here. The only internet where I can download something is in my workplace.
Any solution with google colab may helpme too. Maybe create a temporal server via python in google colab and asign my domain name. But I just don’t know how to do it. With flask-ngrok I create one in google colab but the link I obtain is through de domain ngrok and Is blocked too.
The objetive is to create a custom download link to one file that doesn’t lifting suspicions trace and maybe reemplace in the future the file in google drive rename it so that keep the same path.
Any help will be appreciated.
Thanks for your time

I did it, finally I did it. I’m a beginner, so for me, founding a method to circumvent the stupid proxy filters of my workplace without leaving any suspects in order to download files from the internet is great!!!!!! wonderful!!!!!!. Also I got to say that in my country the price of the internet is a madness. Imagine that you would have to pay the equivalent of 250 dollars of your salary for only 2 gigabytes of data usage in your cellular. And also imagine that you would have to pay the equivalent of 375 dollars of your salary monthly for only 30 hours per month through adsl modem connection with the ridiculous speed of 1 Mbit/s. But only in my workplace the internet is free and fast (at least for me). Add to that situation the fact that they are watching you every move you do in your internet traffic.
As a communist country they control everything and in my workplace they have a man only for censure the internet blocking any suspicious page they found, and if they catching you using vpn or proxy web you receive a big problem. They block google drive, dropbox, and any other cloud storage services. Also they block any site you can use to download files if that site is not related to your work.
But hey, I finally found a way. First I got some free domains in freenom.com and I put them a name related with my work in order to not leave any suspicious trace in my web traffic. Then I got a free hosting service and associated each domains with a Wordpress site retouched in order to apparent something related with my work. Then I use my internet in my cellphone for download files from internet to my google drive account using google colab in order to store my files. After that I use google colab to upload my files from google drive to the ftp account of one of my Wordpress site created and then I create download links for all my file with my own domain name. And finally in my workplace I prepare a curl download script to download my files intermittently in order to not leave the appearance of downloading a big file traffic consuming. Finally I download the equivalent of 1 gb per day. Sad but true. I’m working now in a way to create a free ssl connection for my downloads with authentication system that won’t let the censor man to access to my links. Mabe with a Wordpress plugin

I'm having difficulties with selecting a host for a website that I'm working on and would appreciate some sincere tips. There are a lot of articles on the topics, many of which are biased, which is why I'm quite confused.
I need help selecting a specific host and service. I have the following requirements and would like a few different suggestions. Ideally, I want one suggestion on a specific service with Cloudflare since that's my primary choice even though I find their offering confusing. I also would like one suggestion with a provider that accepts BTCs as payment.
Now to my requirements:
The website is quite similar to KhanAcademy and Udemy. We want to host about 75 GB of videos that users should be able to view directly on the site (stream) with our own mediaplayer.
We also have about 15 GB of audios that users should be play directly on the site and download.
We do NOT want to use YouTube, Soundcloud or similar services.
Finally, we have an additional 25 GB of files that we need to host, and that users should be able to download.
The media should load quickly but since the site is new, we have no idea of bandwidth requirement. However, we expect that they will be slow at first but grow steadily over time.
We want the hosting service to come with SSL.
And we want a three-year subscription with a fixed upfront fee rather than monthly payments
Although this isn't a must, but we would prefer if we could use the same hosting service for two separate websites with different domains.
I'm trying to set up a zap that will pull an e-mail attachment from OWA (Outlook Web Access) and upload it to my organization's web site. The only pre-configured FTP option is BrickFTP, and I'd like to avoid getting another service involved if possible. Is there a way to perform an FTP upload from Zapier to an FTP server other than BrickFTP?
I would love to see this feature in Zapier!! In the meantime, integromat does have an FTP integration that works well.
About integromat [aff]:
the learning curve is much steeper than zapier, and the interface is complex! This complexity offers cool features like arrays: If you take the time to learn it you can have a really powerful setup.
The free plan is highly functional, but make sure you don't accidentally eat up your 1000 action allowance with, for example, an email integration that goes off for every message.
You can make integromat work nicely with Zapier. I have a sequence where Podio triggers a Zap that adds Folders to dropbox, then my integromat scenario sends the new folder structure to my FTP server.
This is an old post but several of us have viewed it so I thought I'd offer the solution that's working for me. Hope it helps some of you!
I create a little web system, written on PHP. Now we want to allow our clients to access out little system. On each job, they must upload one or more files (100-200 mb max size per file). Till now, i upload them via PHP component to server, but we have a lot of trouble with our ISP, and i decide to use free Google drive account. So, i read tutorials, but i can not understand clearly:
Is there a way to upload file from client browser directly to Google drive, without upload to our server first? As far as I see, i can use php library to operate with my Google drive and upload files, but - unfortunately - files must be on out server first, which is my big problem.
Big thanks in advance for every one which can help us.
Direct upload from javascript to Drive is very easy. Check out the Drive Picker at https://developers.google.com/picker/docs/ which does everything for you.
I plan to implement my website (asp.net & sql2008) using windows azure, but I have difficulty to do it because windows azure has not released yet in my location (Indonesia).
Should someone like to share the solution the same with my problem would be appreciated.
The question was asked on MSDN and the answer is that it is not possible. The only solution is to wait for Windows Azure available in your country.
MSDN Forum
Just run your apps on HK or Singapore Windows Azure Public Data Centers, these are the APAC Data Centers for your region.
for testing reasons, I wanted to create an Azure account, and faced the same here in Egypt.
I've made it by remotely logging into one of our U.S-based servers, and registered from there :) If you can't do so, and need this account badly, and don't have such server, try using TOR.
Update: TOR is a proxy-like solution for your internet connection, it will redirect all requests/responses to a node on the TOR network, which consists of volunteers like you and me.
so my solution is simple, we gonna use tor to simulate that you are inside one of the permitted countries, and register your account with ease.
what you gonna need is to install TOR and configure your browser to use it, but my personal recommendation is to install TOR browser bundle, it's TOR+a Browser that is pre-configured to use it.
you gonna find a nice video on the TOR browser bundle page that will give you an overview about it.
give it a try, and tell me what happened.
Quick question. I'm currently moving a asp.net MVC web application to the Windows Azure platform. Everything is working out okay apart from one thing.
In the application at the moment, we make use of FTP accounts for each user to import large quantities of files to our database.
I understand FTP on Azure is not as straightforward.
I've googled and found this article: Ftp on Azure
This seems to be what I need except obviously we'll need to be able to add new users with their own separate FTP account. Does anyone know of an easy workaround for this?
Thanks in advance
Did you consider running a (FTP) service that's not IIS based, and you could add users programatically? Also, how are you going to solve data sync issues when the role recycles or when you upgrade it? Make sure to backup to blob on a somewhat regular basis!
Personally, I'd mount a VHD drive (Azure Drive) which is actually hosted on blob storage, and have my FTP server point to that drive. However, make sure you only have one instance of the server (problem #1) unless you don't need higher than 99,9% reliability you can solve this by running a single instance. Step 2 is I'd implement user management in relation to that program.
It's not straightforward, and I'd advise against it though. But I understand that sometimes you have to do this. I would solve it like I described above.
