Permission denied ... Maybe you need to change permission over 'Anyone with the link'?

[alexklwong]

I want to download a 16GB zip file on Google Drive using:

gdown https://drive.google.com/uc?id=1InfIal4y7OBMGNUDeldEmDxtD0MrewY8

I have already set the permissions on the file to ``Anyone with the link''

But I get this error:

Permission denied: https://drive.google.com/uc?id=1InfIal4y7OBMGNUDeldEmDxtD0MrewY8
Maybe you need to change permission over 'Anyone with the link'?

Maybe the same issue as #26.

I found this happens with large data + many access (e.g., public dataset) #42. However, I have no idea how to fix this.

If they are the same issue, there's no solution at the moment from gdown side.

I have this issue as well with a 15GB dataset and a 4.3 GB dataset. But when I copy the 4.3GB to my local drive and manually get the link on my copied dataset it works. Can't make a copy of the 15GB on free drive though.

For reference the datasets im downloading are:
https://drive.google.com/file/d/1NrqOLbMa_RwHbG3KIXJFWLnlND2kiIpj/view
https://drive.google.com/file/d/15w0q3Nuye2ieu_aUNdTS_FNvoVzM4RMF/view

I was actually able to successfully download both datasets once from the original links but after needing to redo the downloads they no longer work even when uninstalling and reinstalling gdown

@Rmao99 Thanks for the information. That behavior makes sense if that's the issue of Google-Drive's side. It seems they restrict access from the command-line for data with many access (e.g., public dataset).

I've added a new feature to keep cookies #51.
I hope this fixes this issue.

You can try pre-released version of this.

pip install -U --no-cache-dir gdown --pre

by default, cookies is enabled and saved into ~/.cache/gdown/cookies.json.
You can disable it by gdown --no-cookies XXX

I have the same issue. I tried the above version, not fix.

I met the same error when I try to download many big files from my google drive, have anyone fixed it?

[carlmalamud]

I find if I rm ~/.cache/gdown/cookies.json and then restart my script, things start downloading again. Is your cookie expiring perhaps? I'm good for 1,000 or so files before I get the error.

Thanks for gdown. Very helpful!
