WhatsApp Google Drive Extractor

Allows WhatsApp users on Android to extract their backed up WhatsApp data from Google Drive.

Prerequisites

  1. Python 3
  2. Android device with WhatsApp installed and the Google Drive backup feature enabled.
  3. The device's Android ID (if you want to reduce the risk of being logged out of Google). Run adb shell settings get secure android_id or Search Google Play for "device id" for plenty of apps that can reveal this information.
  4. Google account login credentials (username and password). Create and use an App password when using 2-factor authentication: https://myaccount.google.com/apppasswords

Instructions

  1. Extract WhatsApp-GD-Extractor-master.zip.
  2. Install dependencies: Run python3 -m pip install -r requirements.txt from your command console. Make sure gpsoauth is the latest version.
  3. Edit the [auth] section in settings.cfg.
  4. Run python3 WhatsAppGDExtract.py from your command console.
  5. Read the usage examples that are displayed.
  6. Run any of the examples.

If downloading is interrupted, the files that were received successfully won't be re-downloaded when running the tool one more time. After downloading, you may verify the integrity of the downloaded files using md5sum --check md5sum.txt on Linux or md5summer on Windows.

Troubleshooting

  1. Check that you have the required imports installed: python3 -m pip install gpsoauth
  2. If you have Error:Need Browser, go to this url to solve the issue: https://accounts.google.com/b/0/DisplayUnlockCaptcha
