Download Files From Google Drive With curl/wget

Sometimes we need to use curl/wget to download files from Google Drive from scripts. In terms of small file, we don’t have any issues, but on the other hand, with a big file(especially download pre-trained model) needs to download the file manually which is very annoyed.

In this my last post in 2019, I’ll show you how to avoid downloading files manually.

Small file

This is my Processing sketch and the size of the file is 2MB.
In the link, 0B-0p-MTxJBSCU2lwaGNUZ3VYSG8 is fileId

Big file

In terms of a big file, the way to download is a little bit complicated since Google Drive tries to scan the file to make things secure.

In this case, we will try to download M2Det’s pre-trained model.

Introduction

Motivation:

Beyond scale variation, appearance-complexity variation should be considered too for the object detection task, due to that the object instances with similar size can be quite different.

To solve this, we extend multi-scale detection fashions with a new dimension: multi-level. Deeper level learns features for objects with more appearance-complexity variation(e.g., pedestrian), while shallower level learns features for more simplistic objects(e.g., traffic light).

1, We propose Multi Level FPN:

2, Based on MLFPN, we propose a single-shot object detector: M2Det, which represents the Multi-Level Multi-Scale Detector.

Methodology:

a. Construct the base feature:

We use the output of FFMv1(Feature Fusion Module v1) to construct the base feature. The size is fixed as…

Download a file from google drive using wget

I want to download the file that is viewable at this address to a linux remote:

I’m hoping I can do this with wget .

and the response was a 404.

Is it possible to wget a google drive file? If so, what is the path to provide? If not, are there any alternatives (bash or other) so I can avoid downloading the file to my local and transferring it to the remote?

Insert your file ID into this URL ( https://drive.google.com/uc?export=download&id= ), then surround the URL with quotes so that Bash doesn’t misinterpret the & , like so:

The shortest way I have found for downloading big files:

Just view access, FILE_ID and DESTINATION_PATH (specifying file name) are required. It’s working now as of November/12/2019 and has been for more than a year.

Another solution is googleapiclient. It enables you to automate downloading/uploading private files having their ids.

Note: Also make sure that file is publicly shared not with a group or within an organization

First, click the share button in the top right corner, and set the permission to allow anyone with the link can view .

Click File->Download as-> PDF Document(.pdf) in the left cornel, and start to download by browser.

[Linux] Use «wget» command to download files from Google Drive

Introduction

Google Drive is a very convenient tool, although everyone should be familiar with this tool, before starting to describe how to download files using the wget command, I will briefly introduce it.

Google Drive is an online storage space provided by Google. We can easily place our files on the Internet and if it is not for our permission, other people can’t download the files we upload.

Since the files are uploaded by ourselves, we can also download them at any time, just log in to our Google account.

It should be noted that the free account only has a capacity of 15GB, and you need to pay if you want to get more space. (Noe there are many e-mail with unlimited capacity in many schools)

Next I will enter the topic: I will record how to use the wget command in Linux to download files from Google Drive.

It’s a very convenient function. For example, today we put the files that we want to share with others on Google Drive and we just need to write down a wget command as a shell script file, we can easily pass the lightweight shell script to others, and it was donwloaded by others.

Use wget command to download files from Google Drive

First, we put the files we want to share with others on Google Drive.

For example I want to share this beautiful Chinese character with others

And then we need to set the sharing permission, right-click on the file you want to share and select Share.

Then select the permission as Anyone on the internet can find and view.

After setting it up, we can finally let everyone download it. But before using wget , we need to find the download URL.

Enter this link, this link URL is not yet a download URL, just a place where you can view the file.

Click the icon of the download arrow.

The website that pops up, the URL above it is the real download URL. The way to distinguish is very simple, it will end with download.

So, what we have to do next is simple. Open our terminal:

-O test.png refers to naming the file we downloaded test.png, and remember that the download URL must be enclosed in double quotes.

This is a success. However, if you want to share a large number of files at once, it is recommended to use compressed files when uploading.

How to download a Google Drive url via curl or wget

Is there a way to download a publicly-viewable Google Drive url via curl or wget? For example, being able to do something like:

Note, I’m looking to do this on a publicly-viewable file without having to sign into my Google account (or have someone else sign into their account, etc.).

If helpful, the cors headers I have are:

How about this method? When the file is such large size, Google returns a code for downloading the file. You can download the file using the code. When such large file is downloaded using curl, you can see the code as follows.

The query with confirm=ABCD is important for downloading the file. This code is also included in the cookie. At the cookie, you can see it as follows.

In this case, «ABCD» is the code. In order to retrieve the code from the cookie and download the file, you can use the following script.

Sample script :

If this was not useful for you, I’m sorry.

Simplest and best way (with a real Google Drive file example)

Install gdown using pip

• Command — pip install gdown

Let’s say I wish to download cnn_stories.tgz from Google Drive

• Download Link: https://drive.google.com/uc?export=download&id=0BwmD_VLjROrfTHk4NFg2SndKcjQ

Please note the id URL parameter 0BwmD_VLjROrfTHk4NFg2SndKcjQ in the link

That’s it! Download the file using gdown

• gdown —id 0BwmD_VLjROrfTHk4NFg2SndKcjQ —output cnn_stories.tgz

TLDR: gdown —id —output

Command Line Args:

—id : Google drive file ID

—output: Output File name

You need to use the -L switch to make curl follow redirects, and the correct switch for the filename is -o . You should also quote the URL:

wget —no-check-certificate -r ‘https://docs.google.com/uc?export=download&id=FILEID’ -O DESTINEATION_FILENAME

No need to install any external tool.

1. Make file public on google drive
2. Open shared link in incognito mode
3. Click on download button
4. Copy as curl download request from network tab
5. Paste copied request on server & append output( —output ) flag

As of 18 Nov 2019 to use wget to download a file from Google Drive, I used the following method. For this method, we need to know, whether our file size comes under small or large cat. I could not figure out the exact number which differentiate between small and large sizes, but I suppose it is some where around 100 MB. But you can always use any of the two methods mentioned for your files, as one will only work for small and other for large.

Basic Steps to be followed

Step 1 Make your file to be shared as «Accessible to anyone having internet». This can be done by Right Clicking the file —> Click on Share option —> Click on Advances radio button —> Change access to «Public On the web»

Step 2 Save it and click Done Step 3 Again right click on the file and click on «Get Shareable Link». This will copy the link to clipboard.

Step 4 Copy everything after ?id= till end and save it to notepad file. This is your FILE_ID, which is used below.

Step 4 Follow below mentioned steps, based on file sizes, after performing above common steps.

Small Files

Step 1 Use the command:

FILE_ID should be copied from above step and FILE_NAME_ALONG_WITH_SUFFIX is the name of the file you want it to save it on your system/ server. Note that, do not forget to add the suffix like (.zip , .txt etc)

Step 2 Run the command. It may show «Will not apply HSTS» as error but its ok. Your file will be copied.

Large Files

Step 1 Use the command

Change FILE_ID in 2 locations and FILE_NAME_WITH_SUFFIX once.

Step 2 Execute the command, it may give same error as mentioned above but thats ok.

How to download a folder from google drive using terminal?

I want to download a folder from my google drive using terminal? Is there any way to do that? I tried this:

But it is downloading this text file: folderview?id=0B-Zc9K0k9q-WdEY5a1BCUDBaejQ&usp=sharing . Is there any way to download google drive folder from terminal?

I was able to download a public shared file using this command:

Where FILEID must be replaced by the actual file ID. FILENAME is the path/filename where download will be stored.

Note you cannot use a folderid instead of fileid. I have used view source in a folder view where I could find the following HTML

A newer, open-source multi-platform client, written in Go called drive is quite nice and full-featured, and also is in active development.

Examples

The pull command downloads data from Google Drive that does not exist locally, and deletes local data that is not present on Google Drive. Run it without any arguments to pull all of the files from the current path:

Pulling by matches is also supported

See the above link for further examples, these are just the tip of the iceberg.

2 useful Python programs (require: sudo apt install -y python3 python3-pip ):

• gdown: Download a large file public from Google Drive (curl/wget fails due to security notice). pip install gdown
• gshell: Navigate in Google Drive as you do on shell (gshell = Google Drive + Shell). pip install gshell (maybe discontinued)

To download 1 public large file from Google Drive (5 GB):

To download 1 folder:

I use gdown and it works well. I haven’t tried gshell .

Note that if one uses gdown more than

20 times within 24 hours (might depend on the file size), we get the error:

Access denied with the following error:

You may still be able to access the file from the browser:

There is a giant program in the ubuntu 17.04 repository called: rclone

now you can rclone copy and sync everything you want. The projects supports all kinds of clouds.. f.e.:

(btw I uploaded about 600GB and transferred 1TB with rclone from gdrive to gdrive in few hours, gdrive to ubuntu and ubuntu to gdrive.. and it works terrific over weeks in a row!!

wget can only handle direct links, but that is not the main problem here. Google Drive expects you to authenticate before downloading your file. This means you will have to use a web browser to download the file. There are a few web browsers for the terminal, lynx is an example.

If you choose to publicly share your file (so that anyone can download it) you can use one of the numerous Google Drive permalink services. I believe these should produce links that will work with wget. Here is a list of two I found when searching for information: http://gdriveurl.com/ http://gdurl.com/

Assuming you are running Linux there is an open source client for Google Drive that might be worth looking into.

you can try, if you are on firefox, installing cliget addon. For every file that you want to download program show you curl, wget or aria2 direct link for downloading that file. I use that to download files on other machines via ssh because it’s much faster for me to download directly to remote computer then to upload that file from my computer. This also work with dropbox, gdrive etc.

You can use the open source Linux / Unix command line tool gdrive .

To install it:

Download the binary. Choose the one that fits your architecture, for example gdrive-linux-x64 .

Copy it to your path.

To use it:

Determine the Google Drive folder’s ID. For that, go inside the folder to download, using the drive.google.com web client. Now look at the URL in the browser’s address bar, it will show something like https://drive.google.com/drive/folders/0B7_OwkDsUIgFWXA1B2FPQfV5S8H . Obtain the string behind the last / and copy it to your clipboard. That’s the folder’s ID.

Download the folder. Of course, use your folder’s ID instead in the following command.

At first usage, the tool will need to obtain access permissions to the Google Drive API. For that, it will show you a link which you have to visit in a browser, and then you will get a verification code to copy&paste back to the tool. The download then starts automatically. There is no progress indicator, but you can observe the progress in a file manager or second terminal.
