I have been hitting this wall trying to get my pics to upload to ebay from google drive so I can use File Exchange and automatically upload multiple files (separated by pipe delimiter). It keeps looking for a jpg or other valid file extenstion and it just doesn’t work and I get the upload error. I read so many answers and tried so many things - using private mode or Chrome - tried them and they didn't work. I spent hours on the phone with tech support and the File Exchange experts too but they didn't have an answer. Here's what I tried that finally DID work - .
When you get your URL from Google drive, it looks something like this: https://drive.google.com/open?id=1hrxwPUgZK6lvDpWwgTFXlrM2QkYWWoIJ Replace the text following the google.com/ and just prior to the file ID with this: uc?export=view&id=
So, instead of the URL example I pasted above, use this: https://drive.google.com/uc?export=view&id=1hrxwPUgZK6lvDpWwgTFXlrM2QkYWWoIJ
An EZ fix - hope it helps.
