I have created a reference table below for your convenience, but you can also take a look at Amit’s original post here.

This trick also works for Docs, Sheets, and Presentations, but with a different URL pattern. Note that the above URL pattern is for creating direct links to file formats with no Google Drive equivalent such as image and audio files. I only tested it with 2 5gb files and it worked.As you can see, you only need to note of the FILE_ID. I don't know yet.Īlso since it says its compressing / preparing files it might be that it might not work with bigger archives. But maybe google also has a system to predict piracy and will flag the files even when they didnt exceed the limit and then this method will work, but if it actually exceeded 2TB it will not work. I am not sure if there are possible restrictions on this method, AFAIK files will get the quota exceeded message after they've been downloaded for more than 2TB during a day. I had 2 rar files which I could not download, but using this method I was able to download them both. But sooner or later your download will start. GDrive will say it is preparing the download / compressing the files so it might take quite a while. All you need to do now is instead of copying the file to create a shortcut into a folder.Īfter that just download the whole folder (it might require more than one file inside, I am not sure.)

The old bypass worked by copying the file where the quota has been exceeded. I'm not sure what the restrictions on it are but that's how you do it: Since bypassing the Download Quota has been fixed for a few days, I think I found a new solution.
