Google Drive allows you to share files using direct links. Is there a way to access a Google Drive file using that link within a web application (written in Java and JSP)? Which Google APIs should I use?

Start with Google Drive SDK page. It contains best practices and samples in 5 programmign languagues, including Java.

Google Drive is using REST pattern to operate on the files. Any Java REST client library should be enough - see this thread.

    The Google Drive Java sample involves creating an App Engine, authorization, registering apps, etc., is there a straightforward way of accessing a shared link within Java? – Ace Ma Jun 18 '12 at 14:32
