How to download large Google Drive file with resume support in Ubuntu?
My prefered browser: Chromium My prefered download manager : uget+aria2
When I download a Google Drive folder shared to me, Chromium automatically downloads it by its default download manager. Problem is the size is really huge. So I got to have some resume support.
Link is like https://doc-00-1s-docs.googleusercontent.com/docs/secure/bla bla bla bla.
So when I copy the link to uget, or aria2 in terminal... a ServiceLogin.html file gets downloaded.
I have no luck with wget via terminal as well.
So what could be the easy way?
I had the same issue downloading files using downloaders. The issue is when you are logged in with any Gmail account, google generates a different link. What I do is, I generate a shareable link and open that link in incognito mode, then just added the link to downloader and it works. And now the download link generated is a different one.
More Clear Solution (Changed)
- Open Browser in Private/incognito mode
- Open the download url for example it is "https://docs.google.com/uc?id=0B08CMVb2YK_EMkUyRmc4a0NtazQ&export=download"
- File size is larger so it will show you warning just click Download anyway the file will start downloading.
- Now goto downloads and copy real link form it, that will be like "https://doc-10-4c-docs.googleusercontent.com/docs/securesc/ha0ro937gcuc7l7deffksulhg5h7mbp1/eia3v63medr04gs1ralifdfml72cmc8k/1469383200000/0595560048316020307/0B08CMVb2YK_EMkUyRmc4a0NtazQ?e=download". For each time/session you will get changed/new link
- Now add this link to the uget/idm/xdm it will start downloading.
