How to import video from google drive api into web app / cloud storage

Dear fellow indiehackers,

I need your help. I have been trying to import video files from google drive api into my web app.

I need to access a raw MP4 file but when uploaded in google drive, you cant access that.

I want to build a feature to the 'import from google drive feature on edit.screencastify.com'

Does that mean that, you need to download that video to a backend, reupload it to a private video hosting (like firebase storage) then use that private url for a backend?

Sincerely,
