Download Google Drive files with WGET

Download Google Drive files with WGET

Download Google Drive files with WGET

Example Google Drive download link:

https://docs.google.com/open?id=[ID]
To download the file with WGET you need to use this link:

https://googledrive.com/host/[ID]

Example WGET command:

wget -O file https://googledrive.com/host/[ID]

It doesn't works as for 2017

This seems to work for one file.

wget --no-check-certificate 'https://docs.google.com/uc?export=download&id=FILEID' -O FILENAME

still don't work somehow. I can't download a zip file with
wget --no-check-certificate 'https://docs.google.com/uc?export=download&id=FILEID' -O FILENAME

This doesn't work for me too. It seems that these download methods are obsolete.

Good to know. Did you find any work-around? Thanks

thanks, i can download the rar with
wget --no-check-certificate 👍

wget --no-check-certificate 'https://docs.google.com/uc?export=download&id=FILEID' -O FILENAME works perfectly for publicly shared link.
Thanks ! 👍

command for download any big file from google drive (for big file we need confirm download)
wget --load-cookies /tmp/cookies.txt "https://docs.google.com/uc?export=download&confirm=$(wget --quiet --save-cookies /tmp/cookies.txt --keep-session-cookies --no-check-certificate 'https://docs.google.com/uc?export=download&id=FILEID' -O- | sed -rn 's/.*confirm=([0-9A-Za-z_]+).*/\1\n/p')&id=FILEID" -O FILENAME && rm -rf /tmp/cookies.txt

Thanks @beliys! Works perfectly!!

Thanks for sharing. @beliys seems to work for files, but how do I make it work for a folder?

Yes, this solution is working. Thank you @beliys

@beliys
Thanks

@beliys
It worked fine for a single large file. Thanks.

Works for a single large file :) Thanks! Saved my day.

I've used @beliys code and made a bash command.

Setup:

1. Add this code to your ~/.bash_aliases file.

function gdrive_download () {
  CONFIRM=$(wget --quiet --save-cookies /tmp/cookies.txt --keep-session-cookies --no-check-certificate "https://docs.google.com/uc?export=download&id=$1" -O- | sed -rn 's/.*confirm=([0-9A-Za-z_]+).*/\1\n/p')
  wget --load-cookies /tmp/cookies.txt "https://docs.google.com/uc?export=download&confirm=$CONFIRM&id=$1" -O $2
  rm -rf /tmp/cookies.txt
}

2. Open new bash session.

Usage:

gdrive_download long_google_drive_file_id filename.ext

Hi based on this comments ... i create a bash to export a list of URL from file URLS.text to a URLS_DECODED.txt
an used in some accelerator like flashget ( i use cygwin to combine windows & linux )

Command spider was introduced to avoid download and get the final link ( directly )

Command GREP HEAD and CUT, process and get the final link, Is based in spanish language, maybe you could be port to ENGLISH LANGUAGE

echo -e "$URL_TO_DOWNLOAD\r" probably the \r is only cywin and must be replace by a \n (break line)
**********user*********** is the user folder
*******Localización*********** is in spanish language, clear the asterics and let the word in english Location and adapt THE HEAD and the CUT numbers to appropiate approach.

rm -rf /home/**********user***********/URLS_DECODED.txt
COUNTER=0
while read p; do 
	string=$p
    hash="${string#*id=}"
    hash="${hash%&*}"
    hash="${hash#*file/d/}"
    hash="${hash%/*}"
    let COUNTER=COUNTER+1
    echo "Enlace "$COUNTER" id="$hash
    URL_TO_DOWNLOAD=$(wget --spider --load-cookies /tmp/cookies.txt "https://docs.google.com/uc?export=download&confirm=$(wget --quiet --save-cookies /tmp/cookies.txt --keep-session-cookies --no-check-certificate 'https://docs.google.com/uc?export=download&id='$hash -O- | sed -rn 's/.*confirm=([0-9A-Za-z_]+).*/\1\n/p')&id="$hash 2>&1 | grep *******Localización***********: | head -c-13 | cut -c16-)
    rm -rf /tmp/cookies.txt
    echo -e "$URL_TO_DOWNLOAD\r" >> /home/**********user***********/URLS_DECODED.txt
    echo "Enlace "$COUNTER" URL="$URL_TO_DOWNLOAD
done < /home/**********user***********/URLS.txt```

@beliys, another happy camper here. Good work! 👍

Thank you @beliys , its works

Thanks @vladalive and @beliys !!

Download from local to Azure 5MB/s
Download from Google to Azure 172MB/s

very long time saved!

Thanks @beliys! Works perfectly.

Thanks so much.^_^

Thanks @beliys

what I got from google drive (shareable link) was this:
https://drive.google.com/open?id=ID
changed it to:
wget --no-check-certificate 'https://docs.google.com/uc?export=download&id=ID' -O FILENAME

after this you will get a file named FILENAME in the directory, rename it to your liking.

This is what I use to get a file available as a linked file from googledrive using a Batch file
I use a lot of parameters but it always works. I've explained the parameters below.
Used Escape charaters (^) used because of the batch file

Find and use the proper filename (--content-disposition)
Into a directory called c:\mydirectory\temp (--directory-prefix=^"c:\mydirectory\temp^")
Try 10 times for a successful download (--tries=10)
Don't check for a certificate (--no-check-certificate)
Give me full error listing (nv)
Put the error listing in a file called c:\reports\YY.MM.DD_wget.txt
(--append-output=c:\reports%date:-4,4%.%date:-7,2%.%date:~-10,2%_wget.txt)
Finally
Run wget command (Wgwet https://drive.google.com/uc?export=download^&id= ????????????????????)

So single full line is below:

wget.exe --content-disposition --directory-prefix=^"c:\mydirectory\temp^" --tries=10 --no-check-certificate -nv --append-output=c:\reports%date:-4,4%.%date:-7,2%.%date:~-10,2%_wget.txt https://drive.google.com/uc? export=download^&id=???????????????????????????????

thank you @beliys

Thanks @vladalive and @beliys it works

anyone who don't understand @beliys . He it is you must change FILEID with your Google Drive file ID. It appear in URL. Also FILENAME change with your new file name. Be sure to include extension like .zip 💯

@vladalive nice work!

thanks you all,
wget --no-check-certificate 'https://docs.google.com/uc?export=download&id=FILEID' -O FILENAME didnt work for me for .rar file but adding thr retry option got it working

Thanks @vladalive!
Solution given by @beliys reports illegal variable name, no idea why

I am able to download large files from gdrive using this perl script.
You can pass the filelink and filname to it.

wget https://raw.githubusercontent.com/pavanjadhaw/gdown.pl/master/gdown.pl && chmod u+x gdown.pl

then

./gdown.pl "link to file" file.mp4

This worked for me:

This worked for me! I noticed that in @haghshenas 's answer (https://stackoverflow.com/a/32441141/2345493) you must allow the owner of the code to do whatever he wants to your google drive account. I prefer not do do that! This script does the job without risks.

thanks!

@pavanjadhaw @andrea-simonelli-research Thanks guys.

Thanks @andrea-simonelli-research

for mac users,

change sed to gsed

wget --load-cookies /tmp/cookies.txt "https://docs.google.com/uc?export=download&confirm=$(wget --quiet --save-cookies /tmp/cookies.txt --keep-session-cookies --no-check-certificate 'https://docs.google.com/uc?export=download&id=FILEID' -O- | gsed -rn 's/.*confirm=([0-9A-Za-z_]+).*/\1\n/p')&id=FILEID" -O FILENAME && rm -rf /tmp/cookies.txt

Had to modify it slightly to work on Mac AND google drive instead of docs: https://gist.github.com/guysmoilov/ff68ef3416f99bd74a3c431b4f4c739a

@vladalive and @beliys, thank you guys.
