How can I download & install ch1 file from GoogleDrive?

[DabDab]

@DanH I have found Pcloud very useful and working nicely with HISE. Thank you for that. But I have one issue after 1 Download if I delete the File and Re-Download it , HISE doesn't start the Download again.. WHY?

[DanH]

@DabDab I think Hise has to delete the file, otherwise it thinks the file is still there (unless you script a check to see if the file exists or not).

What happens if you download the file, delete the file, restart Hise and try the download again?

It's in the docs

But it is not free after trial.

So?

[DabDab]

@d-healey What will be the scenario for compiled plugin? is it same as HISE behavior ?

So

I have found amazon S3 as premium and expensive. I can not use it for my FREE Plugins.

[d.healey]

@DabDab Ah yes, for free that's different, I don't think you mentioned that before. What about using github?

[DabDab]

@d-healey Oh.. Github can be used for Zip file sharing? I didn't have the idea. Thank you for that. :) (y)

@DabDab Amazon S3, PCloud. Dropbox can do it but it's complicated.

Can you explain how to do it using dropbox?

I am curious to learn it too..

I can't :grinning_squinting_face: I looked into it but it was too complicated so I paid for PCloud instead! If I can find the documentation again I will post it

[ulrik]

@DanH Haha, ok I understand

[DanH]

@ulrik although maybe this method works?

How to generate a Dropox direct download link | Zapier

It's pretty easy to get a direct download link for your Dropbox files. All you have to do is copy the normal share link and tweak it a bit.

@DanH looks interesting, thanks!

[ulrik]

@DanH It's working, I replaced "https://www.dropbox.com” with
"dl.dropboxusercontent.com" and it downloads nicely :)

[DanH]

@ulrik in Hise?

[ulrik]

@DanH yes

[DanH]

@ulrik that’s great. I always wanted to use Dropbox over pcloud. I wonder if this is a recent addition. In any case it’s good news hopefully!

[d.healey]

If I remember correctly Dropbox links end in dl=0 change it to dl=1 and it should be a direct download

[ulrik]

@d-healey that will not work, at least not in Hise, but if you replace "https://www.dropbox.com” with "dl.dropboxusercontent.com" it will work in Hise

[ulrik]

@ulrik I'm trying to find a way to generate a direct download link for google drive files, but I'm unable to download them from Hise, even if the links work in the browser

[d.healey]

@ulrik Are you testing in a private browser window or one you're logged in on?
