About this Google Drive downloader

Paste a Google Drive file link (drive.google.com/file/d/ followed by the file id). The file must be shared as "anyone with the link"; files restricted to specific people or to an organisation cannot be fetched by the website. Drive plays videos in a transcoded preview, often in lower quality than the upload. The results list the preview qualities and, when Drive allows it, the original file. Files whose daily download quota is used up still have the preview streams available most of the time. For restricted files, open them in your own signed-in browser and use the extension.

Three moves, one file

Copy the link

Open the Google Drive video or post and copy its address.

Paste it up top

Press Download. We find the video and the pictures on that page.

MP4 or MP3, a size, Download. The file lands in your Downloads folder.

One click instead of paste

The free Chrome extension finds the video on any Google Drive page by itself: open the page, click the icon, press Download. No hourly limit, no copying links, and it works on pages that refuse servers.
