If you are working with ESP32 devices, you know that Over-The-Air (OTA) updates are a game-changer. But setting up an AWS S3 bucket or a custom server just to host a firmware file can be overkill (and expensive) for hobby or small-scale projects.
The Solution: Google Drive.
In my latest video, I demonstrate how to turn a standard Google Drive folder into a free OTA hosting server.
I cover the tricky part: How to convert a standard "Share" link into a direct download stream that the ESP32 can actually read and flash to memory.
