Load Asset Bundles from google drive

Hi,
I'm developing for the Oculus Quest (Android) I followed with succes this online youtube tutorial about using assetbundles using Unity 2018

In this tutorial it stores the bundles locally, in my case i want to download the assetbundle from google drive and instantiate the gameobject in the scene.

So i changed my code but when pressing play in the editor i get the following errors;
1. Error while downloading Asset Bundle: Failed to decompress data for the AssetBundle
2. NullReferenceException: Object reference not set to an instance of an object LoadAssetBundlesRemote2+<DownloadAsset>d__2.MoveNext () (at Assets/Scripts/LoadAssetBundlesRemote2.cs:29)
UnityEngine.SetupCoroutine.InvokeMoveNext (System.Collections.IEnumerator enumerator, System.IntPtr returnValueAddress) (at C:/buildslave/unity/build/Runtime/Export/Scripting/Coroutines.cs:17)

Here is what my code looks like. What do i need to change to get it working?

Code (CSharp):

1. using UnityEngine;
2. using UnityEngine.Networking;
3. using System.Collections;
4.  
5. public class LoadAssetBundlesRemote2 : MonoBehaviour
6. {
7.     public string assetName;
8.  
9.     void Start()
10.     {
11.         StartCoroutine(DownloadAsset());
12.     }
13.  
14.     IEnumerator DownloadAsset()
15.     {
16.         using (UnityWebRequest uwr = UnityWebRequestAssetBundle.GetAssetBundle(" The correct private google drive url"))
17.      
18.         {
19.             yield return uwr.SendWebRequest();
20.  
21.             if (uwr.isNetworkError || uwr.isHttpError)
22.             {
23.                 Debug.Log(uwr.error);
24.             }
25.             else
26.             {
27.                 // Get downloaded asset bundle
28.                 AssetBundle bundle = DownloadHandlerAssetBundle.GetContent(uwr);
29.                 var prefab = bundle.LoadAsset(assetName);
30.                 Instantiate(prefab);
31.             }
32.         }
33.     }
34. }

 

Thx for your answer! solved by generating a direct link.

 

I get 2 errors: Callstack are below
Error while downloading Asset Bundle: Failed to decompress data for the AssetBundle 'https://drive.google.com/file/d/1Q6iJtulozr0kBeUaR01ONn-CUizMtDHH/view?usp=sharing'.

I get errors at line 16 and 28.
28 is understandable since the asset bundle itself was not downloaded. What am I doing wrong with the link? It's a direct link to the manifest file.

 

Hey...how to get that "Direct Link" ??

 

Good one. Thanks for sharing a nice piece of info.

 

Download the file and check what url it was downloaded from.

 

can you please help me .. I am stuck
even after generating direct link the same error

 

malhardevasthali007 i resolved the problem by creating direct link of file and then convert the share settings by restricted to anyone on the internet ....by right clicking>share on the file in google drive .. ..Pls try this ..

 

Hi, Im just curious how to save the bundle from URL direct link instead download the bundle every time?

 

Thanks mate.

https://drive.google.com/uc?export=download&id=1_aDUe_QZNuX6ZXnExTvUjiTtV6V1MLY3
But it still would not let me load the bundle. The code i use:
