Directly Save File to Google Drive by URL - Google App Script

A simple google app script to store or save a PDF file to google drive via URL(link). 

With this Google App Script, you can download PDF file from the web directly to your Google Drive accounts without having to download that file to your computer. 

This is really a great idea if we need to Collect, Store or save multiple PDF files by url, and where the URLs in sequence form like: myFile001.pdf, myFile002.pdf.... myFile895.pdf. And because the script runs on google server so we not need to TurnOn our PC. 

This is the Basic Version of Code:

1.  Create a New Google Spreadsheet. 

2. Go to Tools > Script editor...  
3. Pase Following Code, Save and run.

function SaveToGoogleDrive(){

  var folderID = '1ZoCDCLrKMmUy-ylEgOy59So1VQvzNjYZ';  // put id of the Google Drive folder
  var folder = DriveApp.getFolderById(folderID)// get the folder
  var sheet = SpreadsheetApp.getActiveSheet();
  var data = sheet.getDataRange().getValues();

  for (var i = 1; i < data.length; i++) {
    var pdfURL = data[i][2];
    var myFileName = data[i][1] + '.pdf';
    var file = UrlFetchApp.fetch(pdfURL);
    folder.createFile(file);
    
  }

}

* use folder.createFile(file);  to Save File with Default/Original Name.
