Sharing PPT through Google Drive and skip the Google Slide Viewing? Here's the fix!


I am quite annoyed when I sent PPT to my clients and they complained that my PPT look terrible; font look off and the layout gets disorganized. When I ask the screenshot for the proof, turned out that they view it from mobile via Google Slide, and not from the native Powerpoint app. 

Anytime I send the PPT from my Google Drive, which is my primary cloud storage and backup, the file always seem to transit to Google Slide first, and gets messed up there.

But here's the fix. All you need to do is to edit a few strings of letters in the link. Here's how:

For example I have PPT link from Google Drive that says:

https://docs.google.com/presentation/d/18Lgfjyt7uk45tj56iKo78o68J81XtL/edit?usp=sharing&ouid=23674893675986713&rtpof=true&sd=true

(This is typical link with "Anyone with the link can view" setting.)

Now simply change "presentation" string into "file" and the remaining letters after usp=sharing

https://docs.google.com/presentationfile/d/18Lgfjyt7uk45tj56iKo78o68J81XtL/edit?usp=sharing&ouid=23674893675986713&rtpof=true&sd=true

Thus the final link would be: 

https://docs.google.com/file/d/18Lgfjyt7uk45tj56iKo78o68J81XtL/edit?usp=sharing

Hope this helps!
