How do I use Kickstart to import from Google Drive? What would the URL be? I have tried the url I can see in the address bar but it does not work. I have imported from AmazonS3 for years without any issues.

Hello,
if you want to import from Google Drive, you have to create a "public link" to the file and then use the Import from URL feature inside Kickstart.
In this way Kickstart will download the archive on your server. Please remember that there's a catch: if you have a multipart archive (ie a backup made of 10 different files) you have to perform the same action for every file (so 10 times in total).
