upload a remote file to google drive

Question

I wonder if it is possible to upload remote files directly to google drive?(remote file:a file that is not located in same server as php script)

If our file exists on http://www.example.com/path/to/file i want it to be uploaded directly(without downloading to my own server and upload later) to google drive

This is not possible directly right now. However there are some services like SMEStorage which helps you to remote upload via certain servers. This service doesn't support every file hosting. They mainly support Cloud Services.

you can do it but you have to do it with google chrome, this way: send your file link for remote upload to http://www.sidecloudload.com/ they can remote upload to dropbox OR EMAIL THE FILE (send it to your gmail) there is a add-on for google chrome that let you save attach files from gmail to google drive you can download it here but there is a size limit for that website (25MB per file)
