I can’t speak for iCloud, but Google Drive can work as long as the file is publicly shared and you use the correct url.

> Hi @artoguide, Like Jeff said if you have made that file public ( or MAKE does that for you ) then you have to format the drive URL a bit to make it available in the audio player! Check this post for that : [Audio player not working? - #2 by Dilon\_Perera](https://community.glideapps.com/t/audio-player-not-working/63537/2) Thank you

However, Google Drive is not always reliable, and not recommended for hosting files used in this way. You would be better off directly uploading the file to Glide’s storage.
