This is the google slides document in question: https://docs.google.com/presentation/d/e/2PACX-1vQCYjdh1xx8HY-rP_D33zlJ-DR9s5knPDbBXPUAZJoLCT8Sb5Iwr56MZXhnodGfYSYx1xfXr8jaCvem/pub?start=false&loop=false&delayms=3000#slide=id.p

I'm at the start of my year studying again, and I wanted to download these notes...is there way to achieve this? I tried to save page but that obviously won't work, it's an html, I want the original file to save it to my pc.

Is there maybe any web I can paste the link and get the file?

PS: If this is not the appropriate subforum, please tell me where I could post the issue in the stack exchange forums. Thanks!

Answer:

The publish link is a view-only Presesntation mode copy of the Google Slide file, and making a copy from this is disallowed. This is by design and can not be changed.

More Information:

From the help article on publishing Workspace files:

If you send someone the URL of a published file, they’ll see a version they can’t edit that looks different from yours. Here’s what others will see:

Presentations: A view-only version or a version in presentation mode with full-screen slides.

And from the Publish dialog:

Make your content visible to anyone by publishing it to the web. You can link to or embed your document. Learn more

Note: the wording here is view-only and visible, which is not the same as read-only, which would include file copying.

If you wish to obtain a copy of the presentation, I suggest contacting the owner of the file.

I know this is generally bad news, but I hope this is helpful to you!
