MediaElement - Ability to play Audio/Video files directly from a Google Drive using File Id - Net Maui

[Riffy135]

Hi

is it possible for MediaElement to play Audio/Video files directly from a Google Drive using it's File Id by populating the Source field using the full path.

I am currently having to download the file(s), which is not ideal as the files can be quite large in size.

Thanks

To allow third-party apps (which your .net MAUI app will be) access to Drive files requires that the user themselves give permission to the app. I do not think that this would be possible in the toolkit. See Allow third-party apps for Drive files for more information. You would also need to integrate the Google Drive API.
