Automatically download Google Drive files (on Linux).
- Set the access of the file to Anyone on the internet with this link can edit.
- Run the command on Linux machine:
./gdirveget.sh "<FILE_LINK>" <SAVE_PATH>
The two arguments are required. Remember to add "" around the link.
Typically, you can download a google drive file by the command wget https://drive.google.com/uc?export=download&id=FILEID. However, for large files and binary files this does not work, because it pops up a "Can't scan file for viruses" window. So you need to get the real download link from the virus warning html page, which contains a code generated by the cookie.
