Didn’t work for me, but I found another method.

It is slightly less user friendly but has the added benefit of making you feeling like a hacker.

(I did this on crome)

Right click the presentation and select ‘view frame source’

This will open up some code in a new tab .

In the first few lines look for some something like:

content=”https://docs.google.com/presentation/d/{random letters}/preview?”

(the random letters are a file ID)

Copy and paste this URL into your browser. If you press enter it will open the slides presentation in a new tab.

To download change the last bit of the url from ‘/preview?’ to ‘/export/ppxt’ or ‘/export/pdf’ if you want a power point or pdf download respectively.
