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'?

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]

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'
