Upload files to Google Drive from other website

If you want to upload file, example a pdf file that resides on another website, you will have to download the file into your local PC before you can upload it to Google drive. To speed up this process, actually you can directly paste the link into open file dialog box and let the Windows OS do the work for you.

When you are in Google Drive, just select upload Files...

In the File Open dialog, just paste the url link directly into File name: box

After you click Open, the File Open box will grey out for a while (depend on your file size and connection speed as Windows is taking time to download the file). Once the File Open box disappear, you will see your file get uploaded to Google Drive.
