--- Old GDown Method ---

Python3 or Python2.

gdown.py:

import requests

def download_file_from_google_drive(id, destination):
    def get_confirm_token(response):
        for key, value in response.cookies.items():
            if key.startswith('download_warning'):

Linux gdrive

gdrive:

https://github.com/prasmussen/gdrive/

Install:

wget "https://github.com/prasmussen/gdrive/releases/download/2.1.1/gdrive_2.1.1_linux_amd64.tar.gz"
tar -zvxf gdrive_2.1.1_linux_amd64.tar.gz
sudo mv gdrive /usr/local/bin/

Fix musl Dependency: (If you don't you may get an error about "file not found")

sudo apt-get install musl-dev
sudo  ln -s /usr/lib/x86_64-linux-musl/libc.so /lib/libc.musl-x86_64.so.1

Usage:

gdrive download 0B7_OwkDsUIgFWXA1B2FPQfV5S8H

Rate limiting example:

gdrive download --stdout 0B7_OwkDsUIgFWXA1B2FPQfV5S8H | \
   pv -br -L 90k | cat > file.ext

Issue: (caused by missing musl)

# gdrive
-bash: /usr/local/bin/gdrive: No such file or directory

# ldd /usr/local/bin/gdrive
        linux-vdso.so.1 (0x00007ffc29757000)
        libc.musl-x86_64.so.1 => not found
