Scirpt to download files from Google drive using curl (Detailed explanation can be read here: https://stackoverflow.com/a/49444877/4043524)

download-script.sh

#!/bin/bash
fileid="FILEIDENTIFIER"
filename="FILENAME"
curl -c ./cookie -s -L "https://drive.google.com/uc?export=download&id=${fileid}" > /dev/null
curl -Lb ./cookie "https://drive.google.com/uc?export=download&confirm=`awk '/download/ {print $NF}' ./cookie`&id=${fileid}" -o ${filename}

Many thanks for this handy script

thx

Thank you!

Thank you!
and I made a small change:

#!/bin/bash
fileid="$1"
filename="$2"
curl -c ./cookie -s -L "https://drive.google.com/uc?export=download&id=${fileid}" > /dev/null
curl -Lb ./cookie "https://drive.google.com/uc?export=download&confirm=`awk '/download/ {print $NF}' ./cookie`&id=${fileid}" -o ${filename}

remove cookie

you can run it like:

bash download_script.sh <fileid> <filename>

For anyone who stumbles on this thread the following works as of May 2022 to get around the antivirus check:

#!/bin/bash
fileid="FILEIDENTIFIER"
filename="FILENAME"
html=`curl -c ./cookie -s -L "https://drive.google.com/uc?export=download&id=${fileid}"`
curl -Lb ./cookie "https://drive.google.com/uc?export=download&`echo ${html}|grep -Po '(confirm=[a-zA-Z0-9\-_]+)'`&id=${fileid}" -o ${filename}
