[Qgis-user] Flatgeobuf in google drive ?

[Ujaval Gandhi]

Google Drive doesn't allow static file hosting (it used to, but stopped around
2015). So you cannot use it to get a file URL that can be directly used to get
the file contents. You'll need to host the file on a static file server or a
cloud bucket (Google Cloud Storage or AWS s3)
