Where can I find the File ID on Google Drive

Google Drive File ID is a unique identifier of the file on Google Drive. File IDs are stable throughout the lifespan of the file, even if the file name changes.

To locate the File ID, right-click on the name of the file, choose the Get Shareable Link option, and turn on Link Sharing if needed.

You will see the link with a combination of numbers and letters at the end, and what you see after `id =`  is the File ID.

If your file is already open in a browser, you can obtain File ID from its link:
