The following Python function downloads a big file Google Drive and saves it to a given destination.

I had to download this big Google Driver folder https://drive.google.com/drive/folders/0B7EVK8r0v71pWEZsZE9oNnFzTm8

Running download_file_from_google_drive("0B7EVK8r0v71pWEZsZE9oNnFzTm8 ", "celeba.zip") downloaded the folder and saved it as a zip file in my working directory.
