Gdown is giving Permission error for particular file,although it is opening up fine manually

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'?

Solution

  • 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.
