Extract file id from drive shareable link

I host my blog images on Google Drive sometimes, the normal shareable link is not the actual image source. Instead this is :
https://drive.google.com/uc?export=view&id=<INSERT-ID>
INSERT_ID is the file id (in the shareable link)which is higlighted below
here is a bash script to convert the link.
#!/usr/bin/env bash
str="$1"
# remove everything after the last /
remove_last=${str%/*}
# get everything after the last /
get_last=${remove_last##*/}
echo "https://drive.google.com/uc?export=view&id=$get_last"
You can now use it in <img> src
