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   

As long as a file name is indicated (second parameter), gdown.pl will try to resume the partially downloaded file if an incomplete file with that name already exists. Please note that for this to work, wget must correctly provide --spider with --server-response (-S). Wget v1.17 at least is advised.

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.
