How to download files from google incognito

I don't think it is related to the files not being shared publicly, in that case CookieAwareWebClient would simply download an error page, not throw an exception. Maybe the exception's details hold some useful debugging information? I see nothing out of ordinary here. Googling "google drive forbidden" yields some hits, one of which is excessive bandwidth usage.

I can't really tell if this is a bandwidth issue but I don't I will be able to debug this issue any further. Most likely it is the excessive bandwith usage indeed. I will continue by making a custom script and uploading the files to a web server of my own.

Thanks for the help! I am trying to download a pdf, the download is working but the file is actually corrputed. If you are downloading from Drive, make sure that the file is public. Probably it will consist of an HTML source code of an error page.

I seem to be experiencing some issues. GetFolderPath Environment. Desktop ; FileDownloader. It also comes up with these two Exceptions in the console: Exception thrown: 'System. UnauthorizedAccessException' in mscorlib. WebException' in System. Combine Environment. Desktop , "text. Thanks for the fast reply! FDEr Updated the code, now it supports asynchronous downloads as well as progress callback for these asynchronous downloads.

I just implemented this into my project. Although it comes up with an error regarding the sender, e part of the line when calling it. TotalBytesToReceive ; fileDownloader. WriteLine "Download completed" ;. I've copied the example code directly from Visual Studio after testing it. What does the error message say?

Hi, Thanks for the code, very useful. I just encountered a problem - after downloading 4 small files on a queue using 4 FileDownloader, if I repeat the download queue a few times, I'm getting temp banned from google drive. WebResponse GetWebResponse is returning a user-unhandled web exception from the server: "forbidden". Just me? Is there any walkaround about this? I haven't encountered this issue myself but I don't think we can implement a workaround for this.

Does using a single FileDownloader to download those 4 files one after another change the outcome? If it doesn't, the only possible solution for this issue is to listen to forbidden response and try again every X minutes. I saw there was a e2. ProgressPercentage was a variable, although it was only returning 0. It returned 0 for a couple seconds, went to , then back to 0 for the rest of the dowload.

Also, e2. TotalBytesToReceive always returns WriteLine e2. ToString ; Sorry for the questions. Yes, unfortunately Drive doesn't provide Content-Length in the header of the download request, so WebClient isn't aware of the filesize until the download is completed. Googling "drive download header Content-Length" yields this entry , you may try giving it a shot to determine the total file size. Can I reference the python script from my c file and return the int?

Do you know how to do that? But thank you so much for this! ToString should work out-of-the-box. You are the first person that i have found that has a working solutions for everything!

That's all the questions from me, thanks again. Quota shouldn't affect the owner of the file, thus you can continue accessing the file when logged in to Drive with your account. Try opening the file in an incognito browser tab, I'm guessing that it won't work. This script doesn't copy the file to another Drive account while downloading it.

It attempts to download the file from the provided URL and if Drive presents the "File too large for virus scan" page, the script simulates clicking the "Download anyway" button, hence downloading the file no matter its size. But when the Drive quota is reached, I'm afraid this script can't bypass that quota error. I can't see any possible reasons for this in the source code. I might be missing something but I just can't see it.

That fixed it for me, thanks BigDaffa. Your code was exactly the thing I was looking for and it works perfectly! Well done!! NET experience. You can try using the online C to VB. NET converters, though. Especially if it's about big sized files, we would love to see an auto-resume download functionality in this one! What do you think? Yes, it would be a useful feature but I'm not planning to implement it myself at the moment.

But thanks for the suggestion! If you are trying to learn how to create an interactable button with. Then, you should be able to implement this feature very quickly. How could i check if the download is done? You can execute your code inside the DownloadFileCompleted callback which is called after the download is done. Sorry for bothering. I tried to put my direct dowload link here. What should happen, or where it's dowloading. Maybe didnt put in right place.

Since the file is too large, you should show the progress somewhere in your UI, inside the DownloadProgressChanged callback. Progress in [0,1] range is: double e. Figure out how to make all work. Now, when I am downloading I have webresponse error On russion website I found that the website undertand that I am using program, but not browser and blocking me. Here is the solution, but I don't undertand hot to apply it to your code.

Drive files have a bandwidth limit the exact limit is unknown, though. If a large file is downloaded too many times, Drive may return error for subsequent downloads until a few hours have passed. Try downloading the file in an incognito tab in your browser i. Nevertheless, you can insert the following code to line 84 to give the above solution a try:.

HttpWebRequest request. This code doesn't work for me - respond the error. After working with GDrive and downloading many times, it's blocking me and now I can downlod only mb from the share link. I tried the "AnonFile" and it works but the problem is small speed and no possibility to upload new version of file. If you are able to connect by voice channel probably I able to give you more info by sharing my vieport.

ArkadiyVicont If this solution didn't work, then I don't believe that you can work around the error. I can't connect to the voice channel, sorry. In that case, try using another path.

For example a path inside your Desktop or Documents directories. This file is executable and may harm your computer. Fortunately I found your file filedownloader. I've also noticed that Drive now shows the "can't scan this file for viruses" warning for XML files for unknown reasons.

As you've guessed, FileDownloader programmatically clicks "Download anyway" button to skip this dialog and start the download. Happy to hear that it was useful for you. I have had success with smaller.

Strangely I get a similar issue to pabitrad. You were right, it is an HTML error. I renamed it. Please try accessing the file again later.

If the file you are trying to access is particularly large or is shared with many people, it may take up to 24 hours to be able to view or download the file.

If you still can't access a file after 24 hours, contact your domain administrator. Unfortunately not. For anyone that had a similar issue to mine, I waited 24 Hours and the code worked perfect again.

I had done much testing that day so I believe I triggered it to start throwing that error. Frequent downloads in a short span from google apparently trigger Googles servers to think it is abuse. I use it and download some images as a gallery images.

It was working well but after some time google responses changed. My images turned into question markes. What could couse this. Is this a google issue? The same issue BeckerJason had might be happening here, so possibly an HTML error page is being downloaded instead of the actual file. You can call File. ReadAllText and log it to console to see its contents. This looks like its in Unity.

In Unity I have seen that question mark when the file referenced doesn't exist. What yasirkula said seems correct. Most likely it is now downloading an HTML error. It was working well. But after a while, it stopped working. It gives nothing on DownloadFileCompleted event. When I copy-pasted downloadAddress on the browser it downloads.

Is it a Google issue? I have 27 images at KB size range on google drive. My app made approximately calls on a short time. Is Google bans such requests Can you download the file in an incognito browser tab while you aren't logged in to your Google account? If so, can you check if the FileDownloader issue still persists? Yes, I could download the file in an incognito browser tab while I am not logged in to my Google account. I changed my approach to download the files, I decreased request count.

With this approach your script continues to work flawlessly. Thank you yasirkula. Nope -- GetResponse headers is empty -- thanks anyway -- I'll try something else -- probably web client code. Yep, I still couldn't download the files when the computer was on safe mode with networking.

So, when I click on the link to download, it opens in a new page and states that the error I screenshot in my question. Normally it should open the page then go back to the original page as a download but it's not doing that. Forgetting the site didn't either. I provided a screenshot of HTTP response headers, couldn't find the location header, though.

The screenshot doesn't show that you request the file from " drive. It's not bookmarked but for some reason every time I clear my history completely, the website still saves when I go to type it.

None of the google sites are bookmarked. Thank you! I had to sign out of all my google accounts and resign in with the one I needed for google drive. I just don't understand why this Firefox on my HP laptop was the only one having this problem, but thank you all! Search Support Search. Home Support Forums Firefox Unable to download any file on Learn More. Chosen solution I think your problem is that when you access the url drive. CA Vikram S. FredMcD Top 10 Contributor.

That didn't work but thanks. It is already on Standard. I had no problem downloading the file. Describe in detail how you are downloading and what happens. Any error messages? Start your '''Computer''' in safe mode with network support. Try '''Secure''' websites. Do you still have this issue in a New Private Window?

You can't recover from this 'forget' unless you have a backup of involved files. If you revisit a 'forgotten' website then data from that website will be saved once again. Yes, it was. FredMcD said I had no problem downloading the file.
