How to Use QR Code for Google Drive™ File Sharing

Follow this step-by-step tutorial to generate and customize QR codes for your Google Drive™ files.

1 Install the Add-on

First, make sure the add-on is installed from the Google Workspace™ Marketplace. You can click the "Install Addon" button in the navigation header above to open the marketplace listing directly.

2 Open the Sidebar in Google Drive™

Go to your Google Drive™ workspace. In the right-hand side panel, you will see the ConvertSharp QR Code icon. Click the icon to open the add-on sidebar.

3 Copy Your File's Share Link

Select the file or folder you want to share. To ensure others can access the file via the QR code:

  • Right-click on the file/folder in Google Drive™.
  • Choose Share → Share.
  • Under General access, change the permission setting from Restricted to Anyone with the link.
  • Choose the appropriate role (Viewer, Commenter, or Editor).
  • Click the Copy link button, then click Done.
4 Paste Link and Generate

Paste the copied link into the input field titled "QR Code Sharing URL" in the add-on sidebar. Press Ctrl+V (or Command+V on Mac) to paste. Once pasted, click the "Generate QRCode" button.

Note: Free users can generate up to 10 QR codes during the trial phase. Upgrading to the PRO version unlocks unlimited generations.
5 Customize and Download

The QR Code Customizer window will open. Here you can brand and customize the code:

  • Colors: Pick a custom foreground color, background color, and label color.
  • Branding: Enter a custom label text (e.g. your website domain) and upload a company logo image to place in the center of the QR code.
  • Fine-tuning: Use the sliders to adjust label size, vertical position (Y), and horizontal position (X).
  • Save: Click Download to save the high-res PNG file, Print to print directly, or Copy to copy the image to your clipboard.
