Cannot download files from japanese server

[Affonso-Gui]

Did not work properly when trying to download from files uploaded in a japanese-setted google drive.

Instead of the file itself, the html file was downloaded (same as wget), since there was no Download button to be pressed (only the japanese correspondent).

Solved by using the --id flag.

Maybe you need replace the ?open= to ?uc= in the url.

There was no ?open= in the url:

https://drive.google.com/a/jsk.imi.i.u-tokyo.ac.jp/uc?export=download&confirm=hMP-&id=1HmDj2XQ8sfOsbKlzw2_mqagSN2DmoFqg

I see. You are not using url like https://drive.google.com/uc?id=1HmDj2XQ8sfOsbKlzw2_mqagSN2DmoFqg.
I am willing to add that kind of url pattern, for example, https://drive.google.com/a/.*/uc?export=download&.*&id=(.*).
I opened a issue: #15

I'm not really sure, but that was the link google gave me when right clicking the download -> copy link address.

Both setting the --id or using the above uc?id= link solve the problem.

I see. Thanks. 2018年9月12日(水) 18:00 Affonso, Guilherme <notifications@github.com>:

I created a PR to solve this problem.
With #16, you can run

gdown 'https://drive.google.com/a/jsk.imi.i.u-tokyo.ac.jp/uc?export=download&confirm=hMP-&id=1HmDj2XQ8sfOsbKlzw2_mqagSN2DmoFqg'

to download the file.

I released v3.6.0 so you can try it by sudo -H pip install --no-cache-dir -U gdown.

Was able to successfully download after updating! Thanks!
