Adding Direct Link error

Post by CDLang84 » Sat Oct 27, 2018 10:03 am

I've been around here for a while, but I'm encountering a problem I've never had before and wondering if anyone else has come across this error yet. I've never had a problem adding google drive videos as direct links in the past and for some reason its doing it now. Just wondering what the problem is but this is the message I'm getting.

ERROR: Link is not valid: 307 - OK

Common Problems:
* Protocal required: http://, https://, ftp://
* No closing / at the end of a directory:
http://www.site.com/video/directory should be http://www.site.com/video/directory/
* You just typed the name in wrong. :-)

Like I said never had issues before until now. Or can I not add google drive links anymore?

I was able to add a google drive url as a direct link. Are you still having issues?

Still having issues unfortunately. I might try using another operating system to see if there's an issue on my end.

switching to a different operating system shouldn't affect anything, but have you tried switching web browsers?

I tried messing around with this for almost a week and still can't find the issue. I tried different web browsers as well both firefox and
Chrome. Still had the same issue. Can't wrap my head around this one. Would clearing the cache work? I haven't tried that option yet.

Possibly. I haven't heard about anyone else having this issue, so I think that it's something on your end.

Well I tried doing so and no luck. I even tried using my phone and still get the same error. I can't seem to figure out what the issue is here. Unless I uninstall and reinstall my internet browsers...

Does the link work if you're logged out of Google? (ie: is the file shared publicly?)
Sorry if it's an obvious question, but it's the only thing I can think of at the moment.

I never figured out what the issue was, but I was able to log into his account and add it for him
