I have been provided with access to a zip file/folder which is stored in my google drive and inside "Shared with me".

How can I download it to my laptop through terminal using "wget" or python or anything related.

The url for the whole folder within which it is contained goes like, https://drive.google.com/drive/folders/13cx4SBFLTX8CqIqjjec9-pcadGaJ0kNj and the shareable link to the zip file is https://drive.google.com/open?id=1PMJEk3hT-_ziNhSPkU9BllLYASLzN7TL.

Since the files are 12GB in size in total, downloading them by clicking is quite tiresome when working with Jupyter notebook.

  • @Tanaike , would you please look at the file from the link I have put up here? Click the link and it automatically shows up in the "Shared with you" folder. How I am suppose to download it from there? – dJOKER_dUMMY Feb 05 '18 at 07:42

You can check my answer here (Updated March 2018): https://stackoverflow.com/a/49444877/4043524

There is one little issue with your case. In your situation, the format of the URL is different from the one mentioned in the link given above.

But, don't worry, you just have to copy the ID (a random-looking string in front of "id" key in the URL) and replace the FILEIDENTIFIER in the script with it.
