This document walks you through the steps to prepare a wget compatible link from a file that is located in your Google Drive.

Motivation: When working in Deep Learning, we often use Google Colab, Kaggle Kernels, or Cloud Instances for training our models on GPUs. But the problem that comes with it is we often have to upload all the necessary files required to get things up and running. This is particularly problematic when we have a large dataset and this cannot be uploaded/gathered directly (sometimes, scp does not work as well). We may have a dataset stored in our Google Drives. In situations like that, we generally create a wget compatible link from the file (typically the dataset) located in our Google Drive (this document only deals with Google Drive).

Steps:

  • Right click on the file (located in Google Drive) and click on "Share".
  • In the Link sharing on section, change the permissions of your file to "Anyone with the link can view" and copy the link.
  • Now, the link should resemble `

Convert a Word Document into MD

Converting a Word Document to Markdown in Two Moves

The Problem

A lot of important government documents are created and saved in Microsoft Word (*.docx). But Microsoft Word is a proprietary format, and it's not really useful for presenting documents on the web. So, I wanted to find a way to convert a .docx file into markdown.

The Solution

As it turns out, there are several open-source tools that allow for conversion between file types. Pandoc is one of them, and it's powerful. In fact, pandoc's website says "If you need to convert files from one markup format into another, pandoc is your swiss-army knife." But, although pandoc can convert from markdown into .docx, it doesn't work in the other direction.
