I'm planning to make a console-based program to download a publicly shared file from Google Drive by just entering the file's ID using Go programming language. I want to use prasmussen's gdrive utility source as a basis to my work but this utility uses OAuth and needs to sign-in your GDrive's account on a browser first before you can use it. What I actually wanted is to just use the download function from it to directly download files without the authentication stuff.

To make things simpler, I want the whole program to be written only to the main package also, don't want to include the goptions stuff for displaying the program's usage.

Someone help me locate the partial codes from the sources?

Here's a publicly shared file to be downloaded:

File Name: Getting Started.pdf
File ID: 0B5gMcwYHq3zkc3RhcnRlcl9maWxl
File Size: 1.48 MB


Thanks

  • What have you tried thus far? Is it possible to download the files from a non-browser client without authenticating? This might be better asked on the go-nuts mailing list or on the Go forum (https://forum.golangbridge.org/) if you haven't cracked the beginning of it just yet. – elithrar Dec 23 '15 at 06:10
  • I've found [this](http://stackoverflow.com/questions/18177419/download-public-file-from-google-drive-golang) useful post so I think I'm not going to use the gdrive client utility anymore. Thanks... – Jullius Pajanustan Dec 23 '15 at 10:33
