Gdown is giving Permission error for particular file,although it is opening up fine manually
Question:
I am not able to download file using gdown package.It is giving permission error.
But when i am opening it manually.It is giving no such error and opening up fine.
Here is the code i am using and link
import gdown
url='https://drive.google.com/uc?id=0B1lRQVLFjBRNR3Jqam1menVtZnc'
output='letter.pdf'
gdown.download(url, output, quiet=False)
Error is
Permission denied: https://drive.google.com/uc?id=0B1lRQVLFjBRNR3Jqam1menVtZnc
Maybe you need to change permission over ‘Anyone with the link’?
Answers:
If you’re working with big files (in my case was a >1gb file), you can solve by copying the url from ‘Download anyway’ button in Google Drive.
Create your downloadable zip folder and make it "Anyone with the link" and change "Viewer" to "Editor".
Finally use:
!gdown --id 'id of the file'
In my case, I ran the following command and try using gdown, and problem was solved:
pip install --upgrade --no-cache-dir gdown
If you are using google-colab, try:
!pip install --upgrade --no-cache-dir gdown
then:
!gdown --id [id of your file]
instead of
gdown <drive-id>
type
gdown "<drive-id>&confirm=t"
for large files.
pip install --upgrade --no-cache-dir gdown
didn’t work for me.
You can try pre-released version of this :
pip install -U --no-cache-dir gdown --pre
This worked for me.
I just found out that instead of using the full URL, you can just use the google drive id, at least that works for me.
in your case, this would work:
import gdown
url='0B1lRQVLFjBRNR3Jqam1menVtZnc'
output='letter.pdf'
gdown.download(url, output, quiet=False)
I have been looking for a solution to this problem for a long time, but I have not found it, but it turned out that the solution is very simple.
Just use_cookies=True
In this way:
gdown.download(url=url, output=output, quiet=True,
fuzzy=True, use_cookies=True)
