I was able to download a public shared file like this:
$ wget --no-check-certificate ‘https://drive.google.com/uc?export=download&id=FILEID‘ -O FILENAME
Where FILEID
must be replaced by the actual file ID. FILENAME
is the path/filename where download will be stored.
Note you cannot use a folderid instead of fileid. I have used view source in a folder view where I could find the following HTML <div id="entry-0B0jxxycBojSwVW...
. The string starting with 0B
was the fileid.
