Google Drive direct download of big files

gdown.pl

Google Drive direct download of big files

Requirements

wget and Perl must be in the PATH.
Windows and linux compatible.

Usage

Use Google Drive shareable links, viewable by anyone:

$ ./gdown.pl 'gdrive file url' ['desired file name']   

Example

For example, to download this video from my axolotl project, just copy the url, and give a file name if desired:

$ ./gdown.pl https://drive.google.com/file/d/0B1L_hFrWJfRhLUJZdXdSdTdfSWs/edit axolotl.mp4   

Resuming a download

If you need to resume a download, please, use gdown.pl v2.0 here.
As long as a file name is indicated as second parameter, gdown.pl v2.0 will try to resume the partially downloaded file if a local incomplete file with that name already exists.

Version

This version is v1.4.

Warning

Please, note that v1.2 (available between days 12 to 31 of Jan/2019) should not be used, as it contains a bug that could result in unusable downloaded files. Proceed to overwrite with v1.4 in case you have it.

Docker

A simple Docker file is provided, to build a simple Docker image with gdown.pl.
This has been used for pre-pulling data from a Google Drive to Kubernetes persistent volumes.
