Hi all,
We are creating an app which plays audio for listeners to listen to each week. The audio file itself is an mp3 hosted on google drive. The audio works perfectly for all internet browser users (Phone and Computer) and can work via the app and browser for some phones as well. All files are set to fully shared with a link.
However we are having a problem with playing the audio on an iphone IOS 13.7. The audio intially plays but after an amount of time 1.40 ish it stops playing and cannot be restarted and or changed.
Does anyone know of a solution to this specific problem?
Thanks everyone.

1. Copy the file ID from the Google Drive link you provided. In this case, the file ID is “1CNUbMn63Obqc8788JEisA\_6LrtrDzMn”.
2. In Glide, add an Audio component to your app.
3. In the Audio component settings, paste the file ID into the “Source” field. It should look like this: `https://drive.google.com/uc?export=download&id=1CNUbMn63O6453FeoH8JEisA_6LrtrDzMn`.
4. Save your changes and preview your app to see if the audio file plays correctly.

Make sure to update you Drive folder settings to be viewable by ‘Anyone’.
Alternatively you could upload the file to Glide and use the Glide provided link.

Drive is not recommended as an option for storing & then displaying in Glide, we have seen problems all the time with that approach. If storage is not a huge problem for you, I would recommend uploading the file to Glide using a file picker component.
