If you use Google Drive for backup you might have your videos already there. Additionally you can use Google service to share videos with others.
What if you want to put them on video hosting service and downloading all of them to your local laptop is nightmare for you?
This scenario perfectly fit knowledge article I prepared for you. I will show you how to seamlessly transfer video file from your Google Drive into bunny net platform.
2. Generate downloadable link
First step is to localize your videos on Google Drive then generate shareable link with permission for viewing by others.
Once you have that link you can copy it and paste in the special tool I created for you called “Google Drive Direct Link Generator”. Over there you place it and get in response URL that triggers all web browsers to download file instead redirecting you to Google webpages.
Copy downloadable link and use it in your bunny net Stream API request.
curl --location 'https://video.bunnycdn.com/library/LIBRARY_ID_PLACEHOLDER/videos/fetch' \
--header 'Content-Type: application/json' \
--header 'AccessKey: ACCESS_KEY_PLACEHOLDER' \
--data '{
"url": "YOUR_GENERATED_LINK_PLACEHOLDER"
}'
Replace placeholders:
– YOUR_GENERATED_LINK_PLACEHOLDER with output from app I provided to you
– LIBRARY_ID_PLACEHOLDER with your library id you can get from bunny net section of video library.
– ACCESS_KEY_PLACEHOLDER with your key by copying API Key in API section
Once request is sent after some time you can see video in your library.

Copy that link and use it again with fetch API request. Now video should be smoothly transferred into bunny net library.
