Re: [Qgis-user] Flatgeobuf in google drive ?

[Bo Victor Thomsen via QGIS-User]

Thanks for all the answers.

I made a Google cloud bucket and uploaded my files to that. It is 
(surprisingly🙂) stable and fast ! The only downside is that it takes a 
long time the first time you open the layer, because QGIS will read the 
entire layer to ascertain the number of objects. When you have a layer 
with ca. 6.000.000 objects it takes a looong time. But opening the 
project after that is snappy.

I'm no expert on Google Drive but it looks like you're using the URL
for the friendly "view this file" page, rather than the URL that
contains the raw file content itself.

You'll probably have to try to download the file and grab the download
URL it gives you there and use that instead.

Cheers,
Adam.

Another alternative is to use a script at startup of QGIS, which downlaods the 
file with wget to a local drive.

Google Drive doesn't allow static file hosting (it used to, but stopped around

[Qgis-user] Flatgeobuf in google drive ?

[Bo Victor Thomsen via QGIS-User]

Hi list -

I'm experimenting using the flatgeobuf file format with files placed on 
the web.


My current test setup is a simple web site located at one.com. I 
uploaded the .fgb file to the site and let QGIS access it using the data 
manager:


That worked as a charm !

However, I would like to use Google Drive as a data repository instead 
of the website,  so I uploaded the same file to (my) Google Drive in the 
"Shared Data" directory and made it public viewable using a https 
address similar to this:


*https://drive.google.com/file/d/180sZv a lot of letters and 
numbersUe/view?usp=sharing*


The question: Is there any method so QGIS can access to the .fgb file 
located in Google Drive using the information in the above https address ?
