!!! Important Note !!!

You can download files directly from google drive to your linux VPS using wget command.

For this to work, make sure public access is enabled for the file you are downloading. To do this,

• Navigate to google drive and right click on the file, then click on Get Link option.

• Make sure Anyone With The Link option is enabled like shown in image below. Then click on Copy Link.

• Now copy the File ID from the link which you copied in above step. Below is one example :
  Link : https://drive.google.com/file/d/19IwTcJXgopvsycTVAo8JtgZLISTvR-dP/view?usp=sharing
  So the File ID in above link is : 19IwTcJXgopvsycTVAo8JtgZLISTvR-dP
• We will use this File ID in wget command to download the file.

For files under 100 MB in size, use below command :

wget --no-check-certificate 'https://docs.google.com/uc?export=download&id=FILEID' -O FILENAME

Replace FILEID with File ID which we mentioned above (Example : 19IwTcJXgopvsycTVAo8JtgZLISTvR-dP).
Replace FILENAME with name of the file. (Example: file.zip)

So now the above command will look like this :

wget --no-check-certificate 'https://docs.google.com/uc?export=download&id=19IwTcJXgopvsycTVAo8JtgZLISTvR-dP' -O file.zip

For files larger than 100 MB in size, use below command :

wget --load-cookies /tmp/cookies.txt "https://docs.google.com/uc?export=download&confirm=$(wget --quiet --save-cookies /tmp/cookies.txt --keep-session-cookies --no-check-certificate 'https://docs.google.com/uc?export=download&id=FILEID' -O- | sed -rn 's/.*confirm=([0-9A-Za-z_]+).*/\1\n/p')&id=FILEID" -O FILENAME && rm -rf /tmp/cookies.txt

Replace FILEID with File ID which we mentioned above (Example : 19IwTcJXgopvsycTVAo8JtgZLISTvR-dP).
Replace FILENAME with name of the file. (Example: file.zip)

So now the above command will look like this :

wget --load-cookies /tmp/cookies.txt "https://docs.google.com/uc?export=download&confirm=$(wget --quiet --save-cookies /tmp/cookies.txt --keep-session-cookies --no-check-certificate 'https://docs.google.com/uc?export=download&id=19IwTcJXgopvsycTVAo8JtgZLISTvR-dP' -O- | sed -rn 's/.*confirm=([0-9A-Za-z_]+).*/\1\n/p')&id=19IwTcJXgopvsycTVAo8JtgZLISTvR-dP" -O file.zip && rm -rf /tmp/cookies.txt

That's it !! The file should be downloaded.

For Files Bigger and needs confirmation I think this works cause for me it just makes a random Folders (File was 1.8GB)

UPDATE : Still Doesn't works LOL

Cannot open cookies file ‘/tmp/cookies.txt’: No such file or directory

Run the command as root user.
Make sure to check if read/write/execute permission is ON in tmp folder.

What are you giving in FILENAME parameter ?
And what is the result you got ? Attach screenshots.
