Google shareable link was created by SVCC

What is the best way to allow google share links like this one: drive.google.com/file/d/0B1pOSosnmHsadWVGeS1BdDJZc0U/view?usp=sharing which points to a PDF on google drive to be accepted? I currently get the error: Invalid file URL. Please link only jpg, jpeg, gif, png, zip, rar, doc, pdf, txt, xls, mp4, ogv, ogg, webm, m4v, youtube, mp3, oga, weba, wav, m4a!

Replied by krileon on topic Google shareable link

That's a URL endpoint that doesn't respond with the headers for it to be seen as a file. What it displays is entirely subjective to who is accessing it as well. So it's not possible for CB Gallery to do anything with that. It's basically just a URL, which you can share using a web address field I suppose or by posting on a stream provided by CB Activity.
