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.
