Godot Version

Godot 4.2.2

Question

I’m making an application for Android, in which I need to get a file from some service, read it and find out if there is an update.

The question is where can I store files for free and then use gdscript code to retrieve these files? for example Google Drive or something like that, please advise something

Box, Terabox, Blomp.

I hope it helped

Thank you, for example, I chose one of these, how can I get the file I need using the code? (I’m sorry, I haven’t worked with Godot’s network functions)

See this HTTPRequest — Godot Engine (stable) documentation in English

Such services as described above do not provide a full link to the file for example “https:\website.com\myAcc\file.txt” instead they use such links as “https:\website.com\myAcc\ASf3Od”, and I can’t get no file, no error from HTTPRequest, is there a way around this or do I need to use another service?
