 1 | # Download-Large-File-From-Google-Drive-Using-Python
 2 | 
 3 | This is a simple yet effective method to download LARGE files from google drive using Python
 4 | I have only tried it with Python 3.6
 5 | I have NOT tried it with Folders instead of Files
 6 | 
 7 | I have only taken the python code in [this stackoverflow answer](https://stackoverflow.com/a/39225039) and put it in a IPython Notebook
 8 | 
 9 | All you need to do is this:
10 | 1) Get the file ID of your file on Google Drive (i.e. from the sharable link)
11 | 2) Paste the file ID in file_id
12 | 3) Specify the full path of where you want to save the downloaded file
13 | 4) call the function download_file_from_google_drive(file_id, destination)
14 | 
15 | ## Example:
16 | ```
17 | file_id = '0B6lEo20DNMISIJDSJDVBMENXbkE'
18 | destination = '/home/myusername/work/myfile.ext'
19 | download_file_from_google_drive(file_id, destination)
20 | ```
